Q: QuestionDo you just set your phone on top of the Polaroid printer Or how does it get the picture you want? And if so how do you know if it’s straight and lined up good?

Asked 4 years ago by Devbuddy.

• A:Answer You select and edit your picture first using the Polaroid smartphone app, then you rest the phone face-down on the Lab platform. There are sensors on the platform that read your phone and automatically align the image to make sure it is straight. There is a full tutorial on the app, with instructions, and the entire process is very easy.
