Digital cross processing

[poah]

what you think of the effect?

[graham@reading]

Interesting.

WTF does it mean?

[poah]

normal film is processed in different chemicals to slide film. if you processes them in each others chemicals you get that sort of colour effect. not easy to reproduce using photoshop and mine is probably no the greatest example

Here's another example of a cross-processed image. The effect is quite extreme but it has the greenish tint that I associate with cross-processing. If I was going for a geniune look it should probably be toned down a fair bit...



It can look pretty cool but doesn't work on all images, seems to be very colour-sensitive from the images I've tested. Check here www.photoshopsupport.com/tutorials/or/cross-processing.html for more info.

Intriguing - I'll look into that and play I think

[poah]

mine are too red rather than the green

[UKBob]

Very interesting

[poah]

won't do shit for your tent shots bob lol

there is a free plug in to do it although I use curves to do it.

there is no right or wrong colour with cross processing e6 to c41 or vice versa, the type of film that is used changes the colour balance/contrast etc. what i find with the digital effect is that people fail to add grain to the effect.

[poah]

its the colours I like not the grain.
