Developing a polaroid

    Hi All,

    I hope I am posting in the right area here.

    We recently had a momentous occasion with my daughter getting her first pair of shoes. Clarks offer a nice service whereby they take a polaroid of the child and give it to you as a momento!

    In my case the dipstick in the shop then stuck a voucher on top of the polaroid and put them into a presentation card. When we got home, the voucher paper was welded to the polariod and I cant imagine being able to separate same without much damage to the photo.

    Is there any way to re-develop a polariod? I know nothing about the technology, but am assuming that the negative is contained within the picture???

    Any ideas please!!!

    Cheers,
    Jab

    Any chance you could show us the polaroid? It sounds like either the shutter didn't fire or the chem capsule didn't pop open and spread, or a few other possibilities!

    Hi!

    No, the photo developed fine. It appears perfectly legible where you can see it. Basically, it looks like someone got a perfectly good polaroid and then superglued a piece of paper to the middle of the photo. When my wife tried to take the piece of paper off, most of it was left behind, stuck to the surface of the polariod.

    Thanks,
    Jab

    Aha, sorry, read your post completely wrong - just caught the 'redevelop' part - was in the middle of a stir fry :p

    Try wetting the voucher with a cloth and peeling the rest of the voucher off slowly - It may or may not take it all off. Do you have access to a scanner?

    Hey, thanks man. Tried that with the water and it worked! I was afraid to try anything in case it might react with the photo initially!

    Cheers!
