polaroid photos

I've purchased a polaroid camera at a local thrift store a few weeks ago.
the lady at the store told me it was pretty much brand new, and it was $3.
so, I thought, 'oh what a heck, get it and give it a try.'
next day, I went looking for the films for it.
and the woman there told me they stopped making the films like two years ago!
uggggggh!!
I also went online looking for the films, but oh my! they are expensive!!
I mean, waaaaayyyyy more than the price I payed for the camera.


I had been wondering ever since,
"how are those polaroid photos I see very often on the web(fashion blogs and such) made??"


Satomi had the answer for my question :)

oh, yes! of course, everything has a softwear in this modern high-tech world!!
she used this program, but for some reason I couldn't download the sample... :(
I am very cheap when it comes to things like this, so I am kind of hesitant to pay $10 to get the softwear.
I think there is something wrong with the setting of my computer, but what if it doesn't work on this?!

so, again I went to the world with all the answers, called google, searching for 'polaroid',
and found this one.

here are a couple photos I tried.

how to use it is pretty easy and simple.
image of a polaroid camera shows up when you start the program,
then all you have to do is to drag an image on to the camera.
it's kinda cute and fun. it even makes the noise of the camera.
but the down side is you can't really control/edit how you'd like it to look...




now, I am curious,,,
have any of you used a polaroid program? what do you use??
is any of the free ones good??
