Turn your digital photos into Polaroids
Remember when, in the days before digital photography, the only instant photographs were Polaroids? In case that’s passed you by, let me explain: polaroid film was a stack of sheets that could be exposed to light and, when they were pushed out of the camera, developed themselves using chemicals from a pouch at the bottom of the frame. It was all automatic (although for some reason everyone waved their polaroids around while they were developing).
In those pre-digital days these things seemed magical, and the discontinuation of polaroid film is, I think, quite a loss.
Well, it’s not going to bring back polaroid, but if you want the polaroid look Rollip.com allows you to convert your digital photos online!
The process is kept very simple – just pick what style of photo you want, choosing from imitation polaroids (complete with that classic “frame”) or full-sized with the same colour and focus effects applied. As with Poladroid, I think the recreation of the dodgy colours you used to get with polaroids is pretty spot on.
If you go for the imitation polaroid you’ll get to choose which style of frame to go for, with a variety of text styles for captioning your photo and other nice effects (like the coffee-stain I used on the photo above!) Then upload your original image and you get the processed version back out. Simple!
That’s it really; you can download your processed image, send a link to your friends, or share it on social sites… and when someone asks you why your picture looks a bit funny you can tell them about the good old days of polaroid cameras
Drop in to Rollip.com and see what you come up with!
