Getting Around in GIMP - Polaroid 600 Film Border Script

Azalea Trail Maids in Mobile, Alabama.

A while back I had written up a post and some Script-Fu for GIMP to emulate the colors I was seeing from very expired Polaroid 600 Instant film. That older post is here:

Getting Around in GIMP - Expired Polaroid 600 Film Effect

I basically loved the nasty color cast and funky things that part of the image did where the developer had dried up in the packets, and there wasn't enough left to fully cover and develop the entire image area. If you head on over to that post, you'll find what I did as well as color curves and some other Script-Fu to automatically apply those colors and degradations to your images. It's also located at the GIMP Plugin Registry right here.

As part of creating that script, I also wanted to create a more realistic looking border script that would emulate the embossed patterns found on the original 600 Polaroid film.
