Polaroid 66, for Retro Toned Memories

An Eterna film simulation recipe with an aged look, inspired by old Polaroid photos

I have a particular passion for aged look film recipes, and enjoy working with the pale and colour shifted hues of an expired look. I have several recipes on this theme already, such as Aged Kodak Portra, Aerochrome Lomo, Classic Gold and Expired Film 66.

This last one was recently compared to a Polaroid look by Marcel Fraij, when sharing some images he took using it. This triggered me to revisit the recipe and think about how I could adapt it into an aged Polaroid style. This is the result, with a look that reminds me of rediscovered photos, like you might find in a stored shoebox or somewhere in the attic.
