anyone know how to take an image and change the color levels/noise filter/etc. to get a polaroid effect?

im not looking for a polaroid photo border, but rather the retro look it gives photos.

Dust and scratches, noise filters in Photoshop are also handy if you want to give it an bit of beaten around look but that's sort of where you want to be looking in terms of your colour management and contrast on the 2nd image.

Dang, any time you need me, I'm not here but sleeping instead. But yeah, I agree. Change the Hues and Levels for the desired effect. Depending on the image depends on how strongly you want change it.
