Postprocessing with Photoshop - Crossprocessing

This tutorial was performed with Adobe Photoshop CS5. Cross-processing Photographs can be made to look as if they were cross-processed quite easily with a Curves adjustment layer. Note that cross-processing was done in the past by using a different type of chemicals for a different type of film, like C-41 and E-6. Open up your image; we'll modify it so the left image looks like the right image. On the left the original image, on the right the cross-processed version. Adding a crossprocess curves adjustment layer Add a 'Curves' adjustment layer from the Layers panel. You need to adjust the Red/Green/Blue curves separately. Although every photo will require slightly modified settings, here's a good start: After this, the contrast has changed. Change the layer's mode to 'Color' to avoid this. Also, you can change the adjustment layer's opacity to decrease the effect.   Return to list of post process tutorials.
