    Thanks for sharing. I just tried to use the polaroid tool on one of my pix and got an error " Cannot run program "/usr/bin/ruby": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory". Do I need to have my pix uploaded to some server, or is something wrong?

    This is the first time that I have heard about squidoocool.com & I'm truly grateful for having came across this lens. Thanks Mr. Lewis Smile! Now, I can make my pictures more colorful and artistic. I don't know if I can use this for my pictures I've taken with my digital camera and send them off all over the Net. You see, I've been working for myself and I get paid to take photos but anyway, I'll try it out and see if it works for my little "Camera Dollars" business. Thanks again!

    Neat converter. I've bookmarked it. Thanks for sharing that. I wouldn't say the original one was "rubbish". But making it a polaroid does add some interest and variety to the overall look of a lens.
  • Rajays Aug 30, 2007 @ 1:05 pm | delete
    thanks for the knowledge. you da man.
  • Aug 14, 2007 @ 11:03 am | delete
    It is a cool usefull effect but the original image looks cleaner to me and I would'nt say that a normal image looks "dumb" or "wrong". However, it IS a cool effect and Im glad you shared it here :)
