Hi all:
Has anyone had any luck making realistic replicas of '80s-style Polaroid photos?
I know it's simple enough to print something on photo paper in the right shape and crop it, but proper Polaroids were multi-layered things, all soft plastic, and consisted of multiple sheens. The main body of the photo was a matte/satin white, with a black satin square on the back that was the size of the photo on the front. And the photo itself was a very high gloss.
If anyone has cracked that nut, I would be interested in seeing your process, as I'd like to put together a nice Time Bandits photo that isn't just a simple printout.
And if not, maybe it's on me to figure it out!
Thanks so much!!
Bill
