Achieving this look in Photoshop? How?

[patrick_f]

<p>Hello all! I am trying to achieve a look very similar to the photos on the opening page of this website: http://www.tbauto.org<br>

I am trying to get that heavy contrast/cross process look, but I am definitely not a Photoshop whiz. If anyone has any tips or links to tutorials I would very much appreciate it.<br>

Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Patrick, for the most part, I see a few things going on. First, it appears they may be using some strobes with gels to get some mixed color, in some of the pics. So you have cyan in one shadow and magenta in another. Second, they are processed such that they have a very high contrast, and even blown out highlights. Third, they use some grain processing in some of them, and Third and a half, they use vignetting around the edges of some of the photos. Other than that, they used a reasonably sharp lens. They are very nice though.</p>
