THERE IS AN INHERENT DESIRE IN THE HUMAN MIND TO EXPERIMENT/to evolve something new...Photography is not the exception...In other words, since the photographers all over the globe shoot crores of photographs each day, it s natural for them to find out new avenues from the rut...They have lots of images on their laptop/computers, CDs/DVDs. When they get a time for rest, different calculations of the images are natural to come into their brains.2. Such was the desire when in 60s Kodak introduced two developers...E4 and C22. They were conscious therefore they written a warning against using wrong processing chemicals for their films and transparencies....When photographers got something new, they experimented with their unushable films with the two chemicals.....In a NATURAL COURSE, cross processing is the procedure of deliberately processing photographic film in a chemical solution intended for a different type of film. For example, processing colour transparency film in negative developer C41 resulting in a negative image on a colourless base. And processing colour negative film in E6 (slide developer) resulting in a positive image but with the orange base of a normally processed colour negative.
3. This process was much in vogue during 70s and 80s..The photographers from Time and National Geographic magazine worked on this process and produced stunning results. Much work of this nature was done on studio portraits, landscapes etc.
4. Now in DIGITAL ERA we do not have those chemicals and films for shooting and processing. ON Photoshop this can be done to some satisfaction using curve tool. I used the curve tool for my pink flower where the gradation changed from red to purple to light yellow. The middle curves are easily bifurcated by the light yellow. U may please notice the colour gradation from pink to purple to light yellow, and a demarcation of diagonal lines is making pic strong---from left to middle to right above.
