It's fairly simple, it takes the "negative image" and projects it on paper, burning in an image into a paper that is revealed by a chemical wash. Polaroids simply did away with the extra step of making a negative and put it straight on the paper.
I get that. It is basically washing a chemical over the original with paper that reacts to the chemicals. I GET THAT! What I do not get is how you go from one size to a bigger size.
I get it now. Getting it from the camera film is a matter of using a microscope "projector" that burns the image on larger paper that is pre produced to react to chemicals it is dipped in. So the principle is the same. Forcing light on a surface to burn an image into it. It is only a difference between first generation print to second hand print.
