I also have some Cross Processing actions attached to two of my photos.
Method 1
Method 2
The first method is better for portraits, I think, while the second works good for photos will less detail.
download action.
BTW: I love yours too, Fallout - I'll add it to my list of custom actions. :)

congrats, looks great.
since cross processing is a chemical process, is there any scientific approach to the behavior of the curves? or is it just plain feeling?
I mean, how accurate to the real thing this could be.
thanks man.

from my work, i have to say, it's some feeling...
a lot of times i refernce real cross processed photos and say well, if these colors did this here... what would they do on this digital shot?
one of my favorite tricks is to do a color sample of skin tone and then make it as neutral as possible with curves... gives that nice blue-green cast most of the time...

daveodroid:
Check out ConceptDawg's Lomo Script, it's better at calculating and does a really good job.
Also, you could just resize my PSD to the correct pixels of your image and then place your file in there. This should work just as good.

P!ndaro:
Although crossing is technically a chemical process, it's more about feeling. What you have to understand is that basically, crossing a film inherently means destroying it. A slide film is developed in standard c41 chems,(usually. Crossing the other way has a totally different result, makes for a more low saturation image.) and this is then copied on paper. The crossed look doesn't actually happen untill you print it, as it is a combination of both paper type, film crossed, chemicals used for developing the paper and how many pictures the machine has printed earlier that day. Scanning a crossed negative wields very meager results, and is generally not an option. You can get the best results in a color darkroom, but who has that these days? Very few.
So, as my rant proves, crossing is indeed a chemical process, but far to complicated and random to duplicate digitally. It's better to just go with your feeling.
OK, I'm off to try out some of these methods.

Fallout75: Thanks for this CP curve file. Great work. I've just installed Photoshop CS2, and I'm still nosing around things a bit. Could you direct me where this curve file needs to be placed? Then, how would it be activated and used? Thanks so much.

If you shoot RAW, you can approximate a Cross-Process very easily. I have an .XMP setting that gets it just right, most of the time.

(If you know how to upload an .xmp file, let me know. I can get it up pretty quickly.)

I really liked the effect of cross-processed photos, but mostly shoot with digital. I wanted to learn how to do it and followed the following example. I was reasonably happy with the result

Does anyone know how to cross process using Photoshop Elements 4.0?

PhotoShop Elements doesn't have the Curves feature but I have seen a downlink link in the photoshop elements group for a curve plugin of sorts. . .
I am on PhotoShop Elements as well but I use the alienskin plugin

Anyone notice photoshop CS3(beta) has a cross processing filter built into curves?

I've been working on a Photoshop action (actually a combination of two) to give my digital photos the Lomo effect.
The first sets the colours and gives a slight vignette to the edges. The second increases the vignette, ups the saturation and plays with the curves. You can use just the first on its own or both together.
Take a look at my latest shots at www.flickr.com/photos/79551934@N00/.
If you like what you see I can send you the action I created (it's for 800x600 images)

Experimenting to try to achieve 60's or Polaroid feel. First is the original, center uses Fallout75's curves, right is the Photoshop action suggested by simone_magurno. It's so much fun to play with these, thanks to everyone contributing here!
I used Fallout75's LC-A simulator on this one and I love how it came out :)

I've downloaded the curves actions, but when i click OPEN they don't seem to do anything on Photoshop Elements 2.0.
Is there something i'm not doing?

dancer6390: i believe elements is lacking the curves feature. this might be why nothing is happening. if i'm wrong, please, someone correct me.

The built in Flickr editor has a few cross process curves in their presets. To see them, find an image, click Edit, then Create, and scroll down to the bottom. Select curves and choose one of the cross process curves from the presets.

I fail to see where is the technique involved in putting an image through an automated script.
I'm not saying you shouldn't do this or it is bad. It just feels out of the group focus to discuss this here. More like for a "Photoshop actions" group.
Sorry to be bold, but I can't really change myself.

Fallout75, thanks again for posting your action - it works perfectly with the Smart Curves plugin for Elements, and i'm very pleased with the results!

In order to render the beautiful colors of crossprocessed skyes (and also to control their tones via RGB manipulation) I experimented this useful technique: open a R/G/B channel and apply a "diffuse light" filter on it. If you diffuse more than one channel with same intensity you can control the colour obtained. RECOMMENDED also to obtain violet expired film effects!! (the following pictures contains also additional vignetting and a small saturation burst)

i used the techniques at the top of the thread to do this image, plus added the filmstrips...i played with the levels a bit, but the unsharpen mask created a weird halo around my head because of Flickr's white balance issue...
either way, thanks for the tips everyone :)
