\"OWN_2258-pola.jpg\"\"Grass<\/p>\n

Yesterday I mentioned an iPhone app called Camerabag that applies filters to iPhone photos. Today I happened across a free app for Macs and PCs called Poladroid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You drag an image from your computer onto the application (which is represented by a lovely icon of a Polaroid camera) and it makes that<\/i> whizz and whirr sound and produces a Polaroid-styled JPG which actually has to develop<\/i>. Once finished it saves in a location of your choice (which you can set up in Preferences). There’s even a setting for randomly grittying up the image, which sometimes results in a lovely smudgy thumbprint somewhere (see the photo of the grass). As with many photography apps these days, there’s a Flickr group<\/a> of users as well.<\/p>\n

The effect and the realistic texture of the frame is better than the effect used in Camerabag, but as it’s a desktop app you can use it on pictures from your ‘better’ cameras which makes up for the lack of spontaneity an iPhone app engenders. However, the makers of Poladroid have announced they’re working on an iPhone version too, which could be a lot of fun. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
