Adam,Thanks for doing this video. I use to these do this with Polaroid over 30 years ago and now I am going to give it another try thanks to your video.
Wow! Talk about photoshop tips! Those are beautiful! A lot less hassle than I would have thought: Just add water, a steady hand, and lots of patience! Fascinating technique.
Really enjoyed this video. Before the demise of Polaroid I had started doing ture emulsion transfer, the process you showed here is what we called emulsion lifts. With the old transfers you take 669 film, make the exposure then when complete would warm in hot water with watercolor paper usually and take a brayer roller with the image face down on the paper and transfer the image to the watercolor paper. Lifts were a thing then as well, just never tried them then.
The woodland scene came up really well! I have played with Fuji Instax and found that I need to increase exposure and contrast and sometimes also white balance (make warmer) if Icwant a more natural or vivid look. There is a sepia preset in the app that looks good on lifts. Cheers!
Very cool thanks for sharing. I know some colleagues in college that did this back in the day, and I was always curious but never had a Polaroid to experiment with.
Interesting. I have my 4x5 Polaroid sheet film holder in the box. And the Vivitar slide copy machine. Yes, it was around $3.00 per shot back then. And may have the Polaroid film holder for my medium format camera for testing studio lights and umbrellas.
I had just finished reading an article on this subject on 35mmc, this morning. I guess I’ll have to find some Polaroid film to use one of my Polaroid cameras and give it a try. Great video , as always!
That first guggenheim one is perfectly done. They're all really cool to look at but that one stood out to me.. nicely finessed. The 4 up of the flower is really neat too.
Well that's something I've not come across before. Not sure I'd be game enough to try that though. I could guarantee I'd rip it to pieces trying. Interesting effect for an image though.
Thanks Adam! I look forward to your Sunday shows. It’s interesting the intimate landscape photos. I happen to notice at the 19:00 minute mark of the video you were photographing the log with the pine cones. On the left of you there is a log running down to another curled branch. I don’t know but the end kind of looks like a face, 2 eyes and a Van Gogh screaming mouth. Was there a photo there or was it just a dead end, pun intended.
Very nice!! Your patience is admirable. On the technical side, I wonder why if the Polaroid app “sees” the photo, why would it need to also photograph your app’s screen? Anyway, great video. Very informative.
I’ve recently taken up photography having done quite a bit of Lino and screen print in past. Really want to try this. Can I ask, when you do multiples. Do you wait for each to dry or get or four on at once from same pan? Thanks so much for this video 😊
That’s indeed a tricky but amazing process! And I already checked the price for the lab here in Germany - it’s affordable! I am wondering whether this process works also with Fuji instax? A technical question to avoid a long series of experiments: how hot is your hot water? Can you still put your fingers inside? Do you have a temperature (Fahrenheit is also welcome 😉)?
Warm water from the tap works fine. The Fuji Instax I don't believe works the same. You can also do the same thing with an inkjet printer that I will make a video about hopefully in the coming weeks.
Hi Adam, I tried to the same with Fuji Instax. Unfortunately it did not work. I assume that instax has a different structure and layers than Polaroid. I wasn’t able to lift anything fron the plastic layer. Do you have any experience or information about it???
Absolutely magical man, the number of times you said "and now for the tricky bit!" I'm hugely impressed.
It is a tricky process, haha
I have just bought a Polaroid Lab and found your RUclips video on image transfers. Feeling inspired now and looking forward to experimenting!
That's fantastic, Thank you from Alaska.
Cool process Adam. I like it when you occasionally mix things up a bit in your videos and show us new things to enhance our creativity.
Thanks!

Fantastic!

Specially patient
Great technic I didn’t know about, thanks a lot for sharing Adam 👍
My pleasure!
Fascinating Adam. never seen anything like this. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Really interesting process, Adam…really lifts your spirits! Sorry, couldn’t resist the pun!
those would make great graphics on t shirts
I must confess it’s not something I would do but very interesting. 👍
Loved the colored buildings and forest
Thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you for sharing the idea!
I don't know how long I've been meaning to try this, but never searched out the process. Thanks for showing us.
Any time!

This is great, I need to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
I have a polaroid bluetooth printer I got years ago, that's really cool.
This is different and unique. Nicely done Adam, nicely done. Peace!

Fascinating video.Thanks.

Very nice effect, I particularly liked Guggenheim's. That open my mind to new ideas. Thanks, Adam.
very interesting idea! Certain photo or scenes I really like a lot. Thanks for the idea
An interesting extension of one's photography. I wonder if you could create something similar using PS. Enjoyed the video as always. Thanks.
Fun! Amazing and something I have never seen! there seems to be no end to what is possible in creative explorations! LOVE the Guggenheim!
Loved the video Adam, it’s given me some ideas where I can use this on a few photos of my own .😊
Great to hear!
Great video, Adam. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Amazing I like the one with the pig . Brilliant

Great time following your chase Tom 👍
Great change-up. Thanks.
Very cool. I have a newer I Type camera, now I’m inspired to get some film and start using it again.
I was just thinking about doing this!
Go for it
Very cool!!!
I love this. Do you just let the emulsion dry on the paper? Do you do anything to preserve it to keep it from being damaged? Thanks for sharing!
Just let it dry. You could spray a lacquer over the print if you like.
Fascinating!
That first guggenheim one is perfectly done. They're all really cool to look at but that one stood out to me.. nicely finessed. The 4 up of the flower is really neat too.
Well that's something I've not come across before. Not sure I'd be game enough to try that though. I could guarantee I'd rip it to pieces trying. Interesting effect for an image though.
Adam, excellent technique. What happens to the emulsion after everything dries? Is it "cured" to be framed?
Yes it dries and can be framed without any further process. Or you can spray with a lacquer to protect the print
Thanks Adam! I look forward to your Sunday shows. It’s interesting the intimate landscape photos.

Anyway, great video. Very informative.
Good question!
@@QuietLightPhoto I thought so. 🤭
I’ve recently taken up photography having done quite a bit of Lino and screen print in past. Really want to try this.
Can I ask, when you do multiples. Do you wait for each to dry or get or four on at once from same pan?
Thanks so much for this video 😊
No, I do them all at the same time. Keep in mind though that each image shifts as you submerge them
@@QuietLightPhoto thank you. You made it look easy but I’ll definitely be starting with singles.
That’s indeed a tricky but amazing process! And I already checked the price for the lab here in Germany - it’s affordable! I am wondering whether this process works also with Fuji instax?

@@QuietLightPhoto that sounds very interesting…. 🧐
Quite a few tricky parts in the process 😅 but it was very interesting
Did I mention it is tricky ;-)
Dang! How would you even think of doing this in the first place?!
Hi Adam, I tried to the same with Fuji Instax. Unfortunately it did not work. I assume that instax has a different structure and layers than Polaroid. I wasn’t able to lift anything fron the plastic layer. Do you have any experience or information about it???
You’re right Instax is a different setup that will not work
Which Polaroid film are you using?
Color i Type
@@QuietLightPhoto 👌
Adam, if memory serves me right I think if you want richer colours add a splash of vinegar/acetic acid to the water
And then rinse the paper after lifting out of bath , dont want acid in paper
Very interesting but too much faff for me. I am hopeless at careful crafts like this.
Oh, far out.
