Title: Poladroid - make your digital photos look awful on purpose!
Post by: Nonentity on January 27, 2009, 08:37:40 AM
I ran across this app a while back, but they just now finally released a PC version (it was Mac only prior).

http://www.poladroid.net/

It turns something like this:

Into something like this:

You drag images into the app, and it slowly goes from brown into a developed picture, and you can take a snapshot of how it looks at any point through the 'development' process.

It's kinda neat, I figured some of you might get a kick out of it.

Is that you giving the model-esque "I don't care, the world is vogue" look?

You should remodel your kitchen.

These Facebook pictures don't make themselves!

It's in the terms of service that I have to not look at the camera, I'm sorry.

That's pretty cool.

Development process takes way too long though. Can I turn it off? :awesome_for_real:

Yea, I watched the demo.

What's up with the simulation aspect?

I guess you can get some "retro" effects by developing early..

My guitar looks cool

Too bad I have to exit the program to label and resize them. Dumb.

What is a McGangbang, and why does it look awesome.

Looks pretty nasty actually.

Awesome?  That looks absolutely disgusting.

I like Stray's (not just because I want his guitar and amp!), but I think maybe it's a little too crisply focused for a polaroid?

A heart attack on a piece of wax paper.

(Although, 4 weeks ago, I would be asking the same thing.)

McGangBang - A junior chicken put in the middle of a double cheeseburger. That's a picture of the one I ate last night. It was SO good.

Picasa 3 does that and throws all your new fake polaroids out as a collage.

Those don't look nearly as polaroid-y.  The color tweaking is important.

You're taunting me Schild, aren't you? So cruel...
