Written by Aleksandra Wolter
Instant photography was invented in 1947 by Edwin Land, the owner of Polaroid. His technique allowed images to self-develop within a few seconds after shooting.

Thanks to that feature, it revolutionized modern photography, and the word "Polaroid" became synonymous with instant photography. The popular and fashionable Polaroid era began, lasting nearly 60 years.

But, unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. Polaroid lost it's fight with digital photography, and, in 2009, the last manufacture of instant film closed.

What Is A Polaroid Transfer / Emulsion Lift?

A Polaroid transfer is an image manipulation technique in which you transfer the image from a Polaroid instant print onto paper, wood, or other substrate.

Similarly, a Polaroid emulsion lift involves separating the top layer (emulsion layer) from a Polaroid and placing it on paper or other substrate.

Originally, Polaroid transfers and lifts were made with pull-apart Polaroid films such as 669, 59, 559 and 809 ( find them on eBay) or Fuji FP-100C ( find on eBay), but all of those films are discontinued.

The only films that are still available and suitable for this technique are Impossible Project (currently known as Polaroid Originals) films.

But, enough playing the smart guy 🙂 Let's make a Polaroid emulsion lift!

Supplies

1. A fully developed Polaroid Print (the fresher the better) - I recommend using Polaroid Originals 600 or SX-70 film. (Find on Amazon: Polaroid Originals Film)

2. Two trays - one with hot water, the other with cold water (Amazon: Developing Trays)

3. Watercolor paper, or other paper that is suitable for water techniques (Amazon: Watercolor Paper)

4. Scissors

5. Soft Paintbrush (Amazon: Soft Paintbrush Set)

6. Tweezers (optional) (Amazon: Curved Tweezers)

How To Do Polaroid Emulsion Lifts

Here are step-by-step instructions for a Polaroid emulsion lift, and you can also watch below for a time-lapse video of the process.
Step 1:
Cut off the white border of the Polaroid print. You can bravely grab the print with your fingers; you will not damage the print.
Step 2:
Now gently pull the image apart and remove the plastic cover from the emulsion.

In older prints, it could be easier to remove the background instead of the transparent plastic. Remember to do it gently, and try not to tear the emulsion.
Step 3:
Soak the image in the hot water tray. The hotter the water the faster the emulsion will release. If your print is old or the water is too cold, it will take more time.

If the emulsion still sticks to the background (or front plastic cover), brush it gently. Be sure to remove all white parts from the emulsion. Otherwise, the emulsion will peel off the paper after drying.

Step 4:
Now, put a sheet of watercolor paper into the cold water tray, and use a brush to gently move the emulsion from the hot water to the cold water tray.

The hotter the water in the first tray, the more the emulsion will curl after putting it in cold water. The emulsion isn't as delicate as you might think, but avoid being too aggressive with it or the emulsion might tear.

Try to straighten the emulsion over the paper. You can grab the emulsion at corners and pull the paper out from water. Doing this will straighten the emulsion on the paper.
Step 5:
You can easily move the emulsion across the paper while it's wet. Remove it from the tray, and use a wet brush to add some folds and wrinkles to the image.

You can play with the image as long as it is wet. After it dries, everything you've done to the image will remain, and you won't be able to add more wrinkles or straighten the emulsion.

I hope you have so much fun doing Polaroid transfers!

Thank you so much, Aleksandra! This is going to be so much fun to try! Be sure to follow Aleksandra on YouTube to see more how-to videos, and you can find more of her amazing work on her Instagram and Facebook!

How do you install an ICC profile properly on Windows 10? The process is actually rather simple. Here's how you do it with ease.

What Is An ICC Profile?

ICC profiles are used to match the color values of your display with a particular device such as your camera, printer, scanner, etc.

In other words, an ICC profile is a LUT (Look-Up Table) with certain properties of a color gamut where a particular color will be displayed as the exact shade of it, not just any random tone of that color.

Now, when doing color-critical work in software such as Photoshop, it's imperative to have a calibrated display/printer as you would, naturally, want to see the same results on the print as they are on your monitor.

Additionally, these ICC profiles can increase the color accuracy of your monitor as well, if you can find the optimal profile for your display.

Keep in mind that the ICC presets work best with the particular monitor/graphics card or printer combo since they are based on the individual's computer setup.

So, even if you have the same monitor as the user's ICC profile, the results won't be precisely the same. In fact, even the monitor manufacturers change the panels of their monitors over time.

Regardless, you could still get an enhanced picture quality with better colors and settings.

If you happen not to like it, you can always restore the settings to default. It's also advisable to apply the recommended OSD settings that you find at the ICC profile database or wherever you have downloaded the profile from.

However, for the most accurate settings you will have to use a hardware calibration device, also known as a colorimeter, for your own display - which is how you create the ICC profile in the first place.

How To Install ICC Profiles

In Microsoft Windows, after you download the .icc profile, you can simply right-click on it and select 'Install Profile.'

If you can't add the ICC profile that way - which can be the case if you have already installed a profile before and want to replace it, copy the profile to the following folder location where the ICC profiles are stored:

C:/Windows/system32/spool/drivers/color

Next, open the Color Management from the Control Panel. Tick ' Use my settings for this device' option and then ' Add... ' the ICC profile.

After that, go to the ' Advanced' tab where you will have to click on the " Change system defaults" first, then ' Advanced' again and tick the ' Use Windows display calibration '. You can now close all windows.

That's how easy it is to load an ICC profile.

This method works for installing the ICC profiles for Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10.

MAC OS X users can copy the profiles to: '/Library/Colorsync/Profiles' or '~/Library/Colorsync/Profiles ' depending on whether the profile should apply to the entire system or just a specific user.

Other Alternatives

If you're unsatisfied with the results, try manually fine-tuning your monitor calibration using Lagom test images.

There's also a great and free ICC software called ' DisplayProfile,' which you can use to store many ICC presets and quickly swap between them.
