A couple of weeks ago I saw a nice image special effect in a book about  
Photoshop Elements, so I came home and worked out how to reproduce it  
using RMagick. It’s called The Polaroid Effect. I wrote a short article  
about it: [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/Polaroid/polaroid.rb](http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/Polaroid/polaroid.rb).

If you’re interested about using RMagick for more than just making  
thumbnails, give it a read. I hope you like it!
