CNET Editors' review
Pola is a basic photo editing program that allows users to make their images look like they were taken with a Polaroid camera. The program's simple interface makes it an easy way to add a fun enhancement to your digital photos.
The program's interface looks like a Polaroid, and inserting a photo into it is as simple as dragging and dropping. Users can also access a menu by clicking anywhere on the interface, which allows them to load photos and also rotate, crop, and zoom them. Users can add text to the bottom of the photo's frame, which appears in a font that looks handwritten. Inserting a photo into the program seems to alter its color to make it more Polaroid-like. The program's built-in Help file is basic, but it does an adequate job of explaining its features.
That's really all there is to this program. Its features are not extensive and its interface isn't particularly impressive, but it's a fun effect and it's easy to use. For this reason, it's not a bad application to have around, even if it is a one-trick pony. Pola is free. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users looking for a simple, fun effect to add to their digital images.
