PHOTOSHOP: Cross Processing

Cross processing means that you deliberately process photographic film in a wrong chemical solution. The effect of this is that photos have unnatural colours and high contrast. I will show you how to achieve this effect in Photoshop by using curves. Below you can see an example: the left is original and the right one has been cross processed.
























You can download the files from the table below, including the curves file which we will create in this tutorial. If you are too lazy to adjust the curves manually you can also just download the avc file, then you can start applying the effect immideately.

Step 1
Open the original file in Photoshop. Create a new Curves Adjustment Layer.






















































































Cross Processing Step 2
Add a Brightness/Contrast Layer




























Step 3 Add a Solid Color Layer


















And use a yellow colour like #fcff00. Set the layer style to multiply and opacity to 20%.

I advise you to save the Curves Adjustments Layer, that way you can easily apply the effect to other photos with minimal effort.
