It’s time to get polaroided.

Dry your tears... Even if Polaroid in February 2008 announced they would cease production of all instant film, you still have the possibility to fake it. Brandon at X-equals has made two new presets that simulates the look of the old classic Polaroid instant film; Polaroid 669 (ISO 80 Color Film).

Even if Polaroid in February 2008 announced they would cease production of all instant film, you still have the possibility to fake it digitally.

Brandon at X-equals has made two new presets that simulates the look of the old classic Polaroid instant film; Polaroid 669 (ISO 80 Color Film). Brandon have contributed with great presets before so I think you should try these out even this time.


The first preset is titled x=polaroid+yellow and brings in the yellow color cast along with a heavily blown out highlights.

The second preset is x=polaroid+cyan and compared to the first preset, this preset gives a cyan/blue color cast.
