Stretching my old grey cells I recall that Cross processing is the procedure of deliberately processing photographic film in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film. Cross processing usually involves one of the two following methods:
Processing positive color reversal (slide) film in C-41 chemicals, resulting in a negative image on a colorless base
Processing negative color print film in E-6 chemicals, resulting in a positive image but with the orange base of a normally processed color negative.
There are digital filters available to replicate this, but they do not have the unpredictability of the film process where time and chemical mix will vary the effect. I think I last tried this about 35 to 40 years ago..... Results are unpredictable as freshness of chemicals, temperature, time all have different effects especially when reacting with a film they are not intended for. Glennis, if I were you I try to do it myself, much more fun and satisfaction.....

We should be around for the December meeting, but I can't say I've had too much inspiration with the theme. [insert head-scratching emoticon here]

The films arrived today - now I have to take the plunge! It's a bit cold though to go out to the garage to shoot the Harley! .... And I haven't yet spoken to the film lab..... Do you sometimes think that you have made a mistake?

Oh Glennis! No, you haven't made a mistake. What's the worse that can happen? You take some pictures, even if, for whatever reason they don't come out as you want them to, you will have learned from the experience. Isn't that the whole point of you doing the course and being told about cross processing?

Thanks for your support everyone. I've today managed to convince the local Saab dealer to let me use their showroom as a studio - I'll use the cars in the showroom for my test shots and when the weather improves (providing I get the results I want) will take the Harley there for my portfolio images.

I must admit that I haven't even taken one shot the for December meet. Got a couple of ideas but not yet got the inclination to go and take them further!
