If you read other articles by me, you probably noticed that I pretty much talk about "cross processing", and I'm assuming you already know what it is, but just in case, is the act of developing a specific type of film is dedicated to the chemicals to be another movie.
For example, meant the development of slide film in chemicals for the regular color film negative. Why is this you might ask? Now, usually the purpose of the Cross-processing of the film is unnatural, highlysaturated colors that can turn any normal photo into a work of art.
Of course, if the composition is not there when its just a picture with beautiful colors, but the total cross-processing can be a nice addition to your photo "toolbox". Now the cross where it is said, the process also known as XPro is wildly inconsistent and unpredictable process. Many variable factors in the outcome of the image, such as the type of chemical used to develop the film, the level ofExposure to the film, and especially the nature of film itself.
Now, however, XPro is unpredictable, determined by trial and error, we will start to motion pictures has some properties when xprocessed thus giving different results. For example, Fuji Velvia 50 film processing Cross usually the result of a blue / green, but Velvia 100 are the results that give the direction in red / magenta thin. For further help in predicting possible outcomes for the types of films, etc., I have again thisuseful little chart I found in one of my Flickr groups. There are general trends of many popular films.
FUJI
Sensia 100 - magenta / red / light green (?)
Sensia 200 - green / blue ... also yellow?
Sensia 400 - Green
Provia 100 - Green
Provia 100F = cyan
Provia 400F - Green
Provia 1600 -
50-green/blue Velvia.
Velvia 100 - Red / Magenta
Velvia 100F-make red and magenta
Fujifilm Fujichrome 64T = Gold / Green
Fuji Astia 100 -Yellow
Astia 100F-red (with flash, in the foreground is white)
KODAK
E100VS underexposure - Green
E100 G - no color change, color saturate
And 100GP - no change in color saturation, color
Kodak Elite Chrome 100 - water / green (?).
Kodak Elite Chrome 200-mild green / blue color shift saturated. (Shot 125)
Kodak Elite Chrome 400 - no change of color, saturation, only
Kodak Ektachrome 64T-blue
KONICA
Konica Centuria 100 - green, yellow / light, coarse-grained,Shadow. Hints of yellow, green shadows
AGFA
Agfa Precisa 100 - no change in blue, but beautiful, high-contrast

Another useful resource descriptions for a few films, etc. is nothing but the shop Lomography.com movie.
Another thing where you scan your negatives makes a big difference. Why, too, because most commercial film scanners, including high quality,have automatic settings that adjust the brightness and negative contrast, color saturation, hue, etc. and if the person asking you to scan your film does not stop them, think of it, you are doing you a favor. In my opinion the best solution to ensure the justice of your own negative cross processed to do is buy a film scanner in its own right, so you have full control over every frame. The one I use is fine, is the Plustek OpticFilm 7300, and I think that goes for about $ 250.
AOne last thing, can pass through the treatment, a little 'expensive, depending on go, where to get your film developed. Many "pro" labs for processing cross-Extra! Ridiculous as that sounds, it's true, I think because of the responsibility of "damaging" their machines, but I have a little secret may or may not work depending on where you live.
A low-cost alternative, but steady, I've discovered is Walgreens! Often you can just walk in and hand them your slide film, and maintainAlso notice. They are only to develop the film as normal, and then their brains with fear when they see the negative results, do not care if you ruin your role, or if something is wrong with the car. Therefore, the best thing to do is ask good and explain to them that their is no danger to their car and will take responsibility if something goes "wrong" with your negatives. It is more likely to commit and then VUALLAH! Cross processed film for less than 4dollars!
So to finish this up I would just encourage you to go try this, take a risk, do not worry about spoiling the movie, the art is all about trial and error. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the result, and if you end up with something that you want to view, post them to Flickr group road Memories, memories Street.
