cross processing

for ramondo! since you were wondering..

So typically what makes film cross processed is taking positive film and processing it in chemicals meant for another type of film. For positive film it’s processing it in C-41 chemicals. They way it can be done on digital film is by simulating it on photoshop with the curves and such.

So the distinct effects are characterized by highly unnatural/contrasty colors and highly blown out lighting.

Check out this site, it has some great examples.
