How to make your web images look cool in 3 seconds
I used to work on Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks to ‘frame’ up the images for my web design. add up background color and edges, resizing, as well as tilting - just to make those images look cool when put up on web.

The whole enhancement process wasn’t that hard and in fact i enjoy doing that a lot.
However, the ‘framing process’ could be rather time wasting and annoying if you have dozens to work on. you gotta keep repeating the same proceduers like robot and the funs definately will fade off soon. more over, i believe there’re not all people will enjoy such work as i do - instant example, i bet Ah Yap wouldn’t like using Photoshop very much. (ha~).
So what if you want your photo looks cool like something above without much hassles? how to make images look cool in just 3 seconds?
Here’s how: you can always use a web application named Polaroize for instant enhancement. it’s easy, it’s simple, and the web application will work on all the messy stuffs for you. all you need to do is just uploading image and saving the ‘after-polaroized’ image.
A simple step by step guide:
1. Visit the webpage Polaroize.
2. Click ‘browse’ and select image files on your local storage.
3. Click ‘load’ to start processing the enhancement.
4. Wait for the process to finish and save the ‘after-polaroized’ image.
5. Finish.
Okay, i know you’ll like a before and after version for the application. Here’s a ‘dull’ copy of my photo taken from Redang island.

…and now here’s the photo after polaroized.

Damn cool isn’t? now go have fun.
