How the heck do i get this effect in PS?
 photo by: http://www.doralba.com . I was wondering if anyone had suggestions how to achieve a look similiar to this piece's matte cross processed feel with photoshop (or even better,if u could suggest how to work it with a digi cam ) Nov 09 06 10:58 am Link www.pslover.com (cross processing, I believe is how that shot might have been done.) Nov 09 06 11:01 am Link do your text tool thing with what ever you want it to say, then go to the layers pallette, and tick on the opacity bar and make it as light or dark as you want. sorry i thought you were talking aobut something else!!!!! ....never mind....... Nov 09 06 11:01 am Link ...you can mess with the "curves" or "hue/saturation" for good cross prossessed looks. Nov 09 06 11:01 am Link If you are proficient in PS then you can design your own curves. Since you posted, I assume you are looking for another solution Here's one http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/index.html http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/expos … mples.html Nov 09 06 11:04 am Link Tom Holoubek wrote: Well when i do a cross processed look on my cam ( see my topless with a blue background in my port, its 18+ due to 1 boob so i cant post it here for you) i dont get the flatness of color in this manner. Specificly, im interested in the flattness of colors. Nov 09 06 11:06 am Link Can't tell you how to get that look exactly, but here are some things you may want to play with... Take the make a copy layer, and change it to overlay. play with the opacity of it, as well as the curve levels in the bottom image (or just a selection of the bottom image). Or, do the same as above, but on the bottom image, desaturate the color so it goes b&w. Nov 09 06 11:06 am Link Nov 09 06 11:07 am Link If you shoot RAW, you can cross process with Capture One software Nov 09 06 11:08 am Link flatness of color comes from relative flatness of curves in the correct places. Nov 09 06 11:10 am Link This question, thread and spattering of answers is driving me nuts. What do you mean by "cross-processing" as it relates to Photoshop? In film photography, cross processing means using the wrong chemicals, like putting reversal film in a negative developer. Specifically, it used to be putting negative color film in E6 chemicals (for positive color slides). or color slide film in C41 (negative color film) Maybe I'm just dumb an uninformed. I've only been using Photoshop since V3.0. Digital is a totally different beast, and when people talk about photoshop technique as if it's film processing, it give me vertigo. There's nothing in the Photoshop help index called Cross Processing. Please educate me.

My question was how could i get the visual apearance of the effect cross processing has on film. Similiar to the image i showed as an example. ^_^ Iv gotten cross processed looking images in the past using digitical by adjusting my settings like a psycho but it didnt have the same look at this ones attibutes( refuring to topless img on blue bg) Nov 09 06 11:20 am Link If playing around with curves and sliders isn't cutting it because it's not doing justice to the rest of the image, try this. It's just a guess as to how I might try it. Use the eyedropper tool to choose the color you think you want. Use your magic wand to select the color your trying to get this effect with. You may have to adust the tolerance until you get what you want. Create a new layer (and make sure that layer is the active layer) while you have the color range selected (the dancing ant line). I'm not sure which version of PS you're using, or if it has the "feather" option, so try pressing ctrl+alt+D. This should bring up a window with a feather radius option. Choose a small radius of maybe 2 pixels (I'm not sure the size of your images). Use the fill option with the color you selected. If the color isn't just right use the color overlay to adust to taste. I know I think more artistically and painterly in this program, but it seems to do some good sometimes. Let me know if this does you any good. Nov 09 06 11:23 am Link A girl who models for me screws up all my polished edits for her MySpace by running them through Ifanview and slamming the color enhancer to the right. It has a similar blown out contrasty flat look Nov 09 06 11:32 am Link desaturate, and add contrast.
