dhiren Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hello, I have seen some really well processed images [iMO] using Provia 100 [not 100F], I am attaching few samples if someone know how to achieve that look throught cross processing and which E6 film to use, I would really appreiciate it. I mostly think its provia 100, but I could be wrong.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhiren Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 BTW, this is KK+'s work from Flickr.com, here is sample 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhiren Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 I like the way it maintains good skin tones, but also gives the cyan color cast and blows out highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytrain Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 i think youv'e answered your own question there. The film has been cross processed, that's it :) as for the green casts, thats what fujifilm typically comes out like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhiren Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 I guess I wasn't clear, I wanted to know which film other than Provia 100 would react like this to cross processing. I saw some samples of Provia 100F, but it wasn't anywhere close to the discontinued Provia 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_tuthill Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm no expert in cross processing, but ex-Kodaker Rowland Mowrey recommended the old-style Ektachromes (EPN, EPP, etc.) for cross processing, and I remember them looking as good as, or better than, your sample, which doesn't look like x-p RDP2 to me.

toytrain Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 You dont think 100f looks like your samples? i would say that most fujifilms come out this way giving a coldish green cast. Velvia is a little more subtle with its cast but it would depend on where you get it processed. so many variables with cross processing. I have attached an example of a provia 100f shot. It was pushed so is darker than what it would normally be.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toytrain Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 As for his highlights being so blown out...maybe use flash and pull a few stops? Looks to be quite a lot of white light wherever he is shooting. Hope this helps, its nice to know that you wanna get this effect, a lot of people dislike cross processing, but each to their own 'ay!?

bueh Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Most Kodak slide films are excellent for cross-processing -- they have a better reputation than Fuji films in this regard. My best results were made with old-school Kodak Ektachrome Professional Plus 100 (EPP), but the other Ektachrome films also have great potential, especially E100G. I suggest you try both films, they should be pretty close to your examples. <bR>This said, you should be aware that cross-processing results are often inconsistent and hard to predict. A lot depends on lighting and the color of the light (sunny, clouds, tungsten, flash etc). And don't forget that cross-processing results in negative film, so you can have some color adjustments made in the printing of the picture. <p>In the end, you will have to try everything yourself and see if you (or your clients) like the look of the images. <i>"It's the only way to be sure."</i> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar_ojala Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 As Bill notes, Mr. Mowrey did advocate old ektachromes, as they are excellent for this. I prefer the tungsten line, the first sample reminds me a bit of EPY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
