Take Polaroids to a new level with Photoshop.
Polaroid cameras and film give photographers access to instant gratification for their work, as the film in its iconic white casing spit out from the camera and developed. Open a Polaroid photo in Adobe Photoshop, where you'll be able to make edits and changes to the instamatic output. Transferring a Polaroid to Photoshop requires getting the tangible picture into a digital format.
Instructions
1. Open the flatbed scanner and place the Polaroid face-down on the bed. Close the scanner.
2. Complete the scanning process in your scanner's native software, then save the image file to your desktop.
3. Open Adobe Photoshop. Click the "File" menu. Click "Open."
4. Double-click the Polaroid file name, which opens the image on the Photoshop canvas.
5. Click the "Crop" tool, the fifth icon from the top on the "Tools" palette. The tool looks like two crossed dark right-angles. Draw an outline around just the part of the photograph, leaving out the white border of the Polaroid paper. When the white part goes dark, press the Enter key to crop out the white and leave only the picture.
