Sure. When you shoot polaroid 8x10, you have a negative and an envelope
containing the positive. You place the negative in the film holder, shoot,
and then "sandwich": the negative in envelope and run the whole thing
through a processor. The processor is just a big set of rollers (like in a
polaroid 4x5 holder) and a motor or a hand crank to pull it all through
evenly. Generally, one would use a b&2 negative with a b&w positive, or a
color neg with a color positive To obtain a sepia (actually, it can vary
from sepia, to a pinkish brown) look, you just shoot a b&w neg, then
sandwich with a color positive. Oh, and you have to overexpose the neg by 2
stops. Of course, your mileage may vary, depending on the light,
temperature, etc. It's a neat look, but is really starting to be overdone by
commercial guys.
