  • Wow very nice, just try to keep your mouth closed..... the pulsating lips were distracting :P

  • hahahaha thats the face of pure concentration

  • Yes, I can do the SX-70 film manipulation. I don't have very much manipulable SX-70 film left, so I might or might not upload a video of it (I'm not very good).

  • can I do this with a Fujifilm intax 200???

  • what happened to the print?

  • can you do this on any surface like I was thinking of a coffee mug, a ceramic tile or even a t-shirt?

  • You can do this with the quick-drying Fuji by carefully removing the exposed undeveloped negative in complete darkness and using a marker or smooth rolling pin to squish the chemicals between the negative and receptor surface. The trick is to get all this straight in total darkness. And also, who has a darkroom any more ? (kind of required for working with 3000 speed b&w)

  • When doing this technique do you still end up with a print on the fuji paper?

  • That's hilarious and awesome.

  • nice. can this work with the Fujifilm-FP100 polaroid film replacement??? I'm assuming so, but I'm new to this stuff. Thanks

  • ps damn i year later reply lol

  • thanks it gives a cool effect to images i like the idea...i love art

  • You can't do what the poster did, which is called an "Image Transfer", with an already developed Polaroid image. However, you can put it in 150 Fahrenheit water and wait about 3-5 minutes for the emulsion to get soft. You can rub and lift the emulsion off onto a piece of clear acetate and then transfer it to your medium of choice. These are called "emulsion lifts", do some research on Google. However, realize that very dark images will have trouble and Polaroid type 669 / 88 / 59 works best.
