What is Polaroid Image Transfer?


Polaroid image transfer is an alternative photographic process using peel-apart Polaroid film. An image is exposed onto Polacolor ER film by means of a slide printer, camera or enlarger. The film is pulled apart before complete development and the dye-laden negative is rolled onto another surface, such as watercolor paper. The dyes develop onto the other surface and the image is "transferred." The image may then be manipulated and handcolored if desired. Each image is unique due to the physical properties of the transfer process. Polaroid image transfers provide an extremely versatile vehicle for the visual artist, allowing for images with a painterly quality, as well as for partially rendered images.
