Talk:Polaroid transfer

This article needs to be wikified

Wikipedia is not a how-to page right? El Oso 05:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to be rewritten with an emphasis on the process as art media, specifically as a type of printmaking. See printmaking discussion for more information. --Renice 19:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Personally i'm dubious this is printmaking at all - it seems to be just getting a photo of your cat onto a mug. But if Renice says it is... Johnbod 07:33, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well you are kind of right, but in a way by putting your cat’s photo on a mug you are printing it on the mug, so technically it is printmaking. -El Oso 08:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No that's just printing; printmaking is (non-photographic) art, & you have to set the bar somewhere Johnbod 19:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article renaming & possible merging

Hi, as the above section says this article seems to be a how-to instead of an encyclopedia article. I also think this should be renamed to 'Image Transfer (instant photography)' as 'Image transfer' is the name usually given to this technique. I am also looking at the article Polaroid art and I think these could be merged as this technique, in my opinion has similar notability to others and thus should be in the same article as others. --GoodCrossing (talk) 17:02, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've decided to merge the page as there is no opposition. While I work on it, I've tagged this page and Polaroid art with merging notices and I've started a section on Talk:Polaroid art#Merger proposal to discuss this. GoodCrossing (talk) 23:07, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
