.Cross Process

Hello readers
Today we'll be looking at cross processing.

There are various types of film
Black and White
Infrared
Colour Negative
And
Slide

Black and white and infrared cant be cross processed
To find them and slide film is hard.

The main film is colour negative and slide film.
Slide film uses a chemical called E6 in order to be processed.
Colour negative uses C41.

Cross process is basically
Mixing up the chemicals.
For example
Using C41 on slide film.

This will bring out the colours in the picture.

here's an example

Usually Lomographers
Or other film users will use this method.

But there are some who've tried to use E6 on colour negative.
The results are different though.
The pictures will turn slightly green.
Here's an example

I've yet to try cross processing myself.
But people from LomokidS have done it
And the results are amazing !
So if youre using film, I recommend you try it.
