Newton rings* on Polaroid scans?
Not anymore, thankyou!
With the coming of new beautiful PX680 Impossible films, the Newton rings problem came back stronger than before - maybe the materials used on these new films are different than before and more prone to the effect?
So I started thinking of a way to get rid of this horrible thing, and after considering Mylar films seemingly unavailable here in Italy and terribly expensive to get from the US and cardboard scanning frames that in some way would “amputate” at least part of the photo frame** (I must say thanks to jesshibb for her great tutorial, though, as this is what really got my mind started on something else), I finally came up with another method.
Today, my latest Polaroid scans have turned out perfect (you might want to check more than the one posted here on my Flickr: here, here, here, here…).
I will try and find the right materials and a nice way to build and shape the idea in the next few days. Then, I might post a tutorial if anyone is interested… Just let me know ;)

** Yes, I am a purist on the issue: a Polaroid 600(type) photo that is missing the frame isn’t a Polaroid photo anymore, in my world.
