What exactly is the "Cross-Processing" filter?

[mwoodski]

As the title says, what is it, like, why would someone use it in a camera? What's t supposed to represent.

It takes some nice shots haha.

To use the Cross Processing right, you should expose it more, like +2 or +3, and what it does it create 70's style pictures, like Polaroids. It's just how they picutres were develeoped.

So it would be a good approach to capturing realistic photos of the classics. I'll have to give this a try.

Yes.

My favorite shot I've taken in the game in general.

Although a wiki link was posted I'll put it in here as I've done some film cross processing myself.

Color film processing occurs using two processes (not counting Kodachrome since it's not made anymore): C41 and E6.

C41 is your regular negative color film. E6 is slide film.

You can process film in either chemical bath but will get color casts. Ie: if you process Fuji Velvia (a slide film) in C41 you will get a green color cast.

That's where the term cross processing comes from - you're processing one film type in the opposite (so to speak) chemicals.

It was popularized over the last few years by the "lomo" movement. As I've said, I've done it a few times (well, the film lab anyway) with real film.

I personally don't like it that much and if I wanted to do it in GT5 would just use my Alienskin Exposure plugin for Lightroom to replicate cross processing.

Also, when focusing, just off focus it a little bit, so the main subject is a bit blurry, and it gives a an older feel, cause i've used some polaroids and stuff, and they don't focus that well.

Here's my input

I tried it as well, actually i'm practicing it for quite a long time. But i just cant get the right settings, it doesnt look washed out enough and doesnt have the correct colours.

I think it gives some photos a cool look, but the lighting has to be right

I've used it to good effect, its fun to play with things...

 

[RacingManiac]

I like to use it a lot. You usually need to over expose it a bit more but I find the color looks more film like...and I think it does more of that CirPol look to the blue sky...

Cross processing almost always seem to turn my photos to poo.

here are few example of my cross processing photo.
