HI dpc friends. ;)

Here is my try at cross processing. I am just looking for opinions on whether or not it looks right?

Here's my dad.

Cross processed, and original.

Thanks all!

I think cross-processing is pretty relative when it comes to "right".

Right is dependant on what make the picture better, or achieves your vision for it, or creates the proper mood.

In general though, increased red contrast, and cyan replacement in the gray midtones and blacks. Yep.

<-- agrees with Capt Steve.

All in all, looks 'right' - now just play until it looks like you want it to look, if that makes sense.

Thanks guys!

I guess I was just asking if it looks like it was actually cross processed...in the sense that it was done "technically" right.

Thanks for the feedback!

Just a quick question as I am having a go at this. How do you "clip" the highlights and shadows of the blue channel as talked about in the tutorial?

I'm not sure exactly what "clipping" the highlights and shadows mean, but I just made my curves look like his examples, then played around with them a little bit. : )

Hope this helps. You should post your result!
