A Flower Grows in Manhattan

Filed under just pictures

You know how they say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing? Well, someone taught me how to use a Polaroid brush in Photoshop yesterday.

So now I clearly will be using it on everything.

You’re welcome.

  1. Polaroid brush you say? Hmm… I’m still making my Polaroid frames the old-fashioned scan ’em in and mask ’em off way. I’m so out of touch!
    Awesome photo, U.M… I really like the shallow depth of field here! :)

    • Well, your Polaroids are beautiful, and the effort you put into your stuff really shows. (Clearly I’m trying to copy you here with my photo-a-day stuff.)

      If you would happen to want to mess around with the brushes, though, you can download them from me on Dropbox here. I love the back-of-the-Polaroid one especially.

    Just don’t ever use that hand-written font again, and we’ll let you polaroid your face off.

    • Ah, damn. I didn’t like that specific font, either, but didn’t have time to download another one. Do you not like handwriting fonts in general? Tracey’s been pushing me to get my handwriting as a font for years.

    I just don’t like that you used the font Noodles. That IS what it’s called, isn’t it?

    • Oh, yikes, it’s actually called Giddyup Std. And I’m sure that the “std” stands for “standard”, but that was still a really poor decision.

    It’s cutesy. You’re not cutesy. You’re a woman on a mission to take back the 80’s one polaroid at a time.

    Yeah I’m not wild about the font either. It makes you seems like someone who wears matchy outfits and cat pins. NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. But, you know..

  6. This affliction is universal. Remember what happened when I learned how to watermark things in PS?
