Cross Processing.

I have discovered the addicting world of cross processing, or "photoshop fake cross processing." "This method is adapted from the color darkroom of old. In those days, innovative photographers often processed film in a chemical solution intended for another type of film. For instance, they might process color slide film in C-41 chemicals. The result yielded a most unusual shift in color, which created a very retro look."

Since I don't have the luxury of access to a darkroom, imitating the process in photoshop will have to do for now. The effect of this technique has been known since the early 60's-- so many of the photographs of that era have the same feel, triggered by the color and tones of the images. I love the effect. It's so warm.

During the 4 day weekend I went out of town and took some photos that made perfect subjects to practice the technique. Here are a few more I applied the adjustments to.
