Hi all, hope you had a great christmas.
I keep seeing these images in magazines and ads with really strong colour/saturation. (Not sure if im using the right terminology here by the way) Ive attached an example image and well i wondering how they get that effect? Is it in camera settings or image editing?

Many thanks. |

| Cross processed. In the film world, what they would do is take transparency film and run it thru negative film solution or vise versa and that would make the colors come out all funky. There are actions for doing this with digital in ps. |

Richard Rosenman has an incredible, does-everything color correction/management filter to download and demo from his website. Shareware, US$ 19.99 to buy. Basically this takes allt he various PS controls and integrates them into a single interface, so you can fine-tune from one console, and watch it happening.

That Rosenman tool looks cool bearmusic although im wondering how on earth i'll get that cross processed look with all those buttons and sliders. Do i need a degree?! Havent found it in the 40 preset effects. Anyone know how to do it?
faidoi - I did a quick search on google and saw the yellow filter is mainly used for b&w film to improve contrast between cloud and sky. would that give me the effect im after too on my digital sony f828? Will it fit?
Many thanks for your help. |

I think just going to Photoshop/Image/Ajustments/Hue/Saturation and turning up either the master or one of the seperate color channels would do the trick. This could also be done in Curves. |

can't answer your question on how to achieve that effect in photoshop. but, i can tell you that you shouldn't need to add any colored filters to your digital camera. most of the effects that these filters provide (ie: increased contrast between cloud and sky) can be replicated at a later point in time through photoshop, without the extra cost.

Peter,
When you're in the rosenmann filter dialogue box click "help" and get a long list of the different controls and what they do.

Re: Kirbic's tool, to see the effects go here: //www.pixelgenius.com/color/pkc_help/index.html
Choose a topiuc on the left, get a pic and a list on the right. Mouse over the list and see the pic change. A lot, if not all, of these effects can be had from the Rosenmann filter.

Hi bear music. Thanks for your replies.
I downloaded PhotoKit Color (kirbics tool) and tried the demo on some of my photos. As far as i can see the effects arent that great on my photos, unless you adjust the individual layers after the effect too then maybe. Although it had some cool effecs i probably wont buy it because using it isnt easy. Going to file/automate/photocolor everytime to add an effect, and then undoing that and doing it all over again, and again to try different effects is awful. Hate that! The rosenman tool on the other hand does it all in one window which is great and you can actually see the effects take place. Much more user friendly and more flexible.
Problem is i still cant get that great look i wanted in my original post. I will try experimenting a little more with rosenmans though to see if i can get nearer.
Anyone got any other ideas/tips?

I haven't tried it but I've read about a film emulator program from Opanda that will make your pics look like they were taken on one of the most vivid of color films, Fuji's Velvia.

Here's a downloadable ps action for cross processing. You are persistant.
Click shanzcan tutorials then it's way down on the new page.
I haven't tried it, but it was recommended by someone over at istock. It looks like what you want. |

Thanks for your replies coolhar and pcody.
Ive downloaded both shanzcan's cross-processing actions and opanda's digital film 1.65. The shanzcan is good but not as good as the opanda tool which gives the exact effect im after at a click. At only $30 it wont break the bank either. I had another play with the rosenman tool and i really like that doing everything in one window thing about it and at $19 i think i'll have that too! With a bit of playing around i think i can get close to getting the cross-processed look in that too.
Many thanks to everyone who helped, im so glad to be able to use that effect now.
