Poladroid


Do you love your 100 mega pixel, 50x optical zoom, image balancing, super Digital SLR Camera? Great as they are, for some images I miss the personal feel and wonky colour balances of the old Polaroid photos. Mourn no longer Polaroid's decision to stop production of it's film (planned 2009), now you can turn any jpeg into a one of the litttle beauties.

Poladroid is a free mini application with a great interface that will develop your jpegs into high res polaroid style photos. The image develops on screen and you can pick it up and shake it as you would the real thing to speed it's development. 

True you could quite easily set yourself a template in photoshop in no time but would miss out on the randomness of the tones/ sharpness of the images, just like the real thing. It's only available for Macs at the moment but a PC version on it's way according to the website.
