I'm looking for a cross-over filter to create that very special cross-over effect. Does anyone have an idea where I can find this filter or if there is another way I can create this effect?
Hi Eve. Just to try and figure out what you are after... Andrew Buckle was the most prolific filter creator using Photoshop's Filter Factory. Here is a link to the page which lists all his sets (each set has many filters in them).
If you click on set #36, look at filter #4 which he calls CrossOver. Is that what you are after?
If so I doubt that any of those filters will work with CS unless newer versions have been made using Filter Foundry by telegraphics. On a Mac none of the Filter Factory filters worked with OS X except in Classic emulation.
You get the cross-over effect when you use a slide film but develop it as a normal film. The colors get more extreme and if you have a good laboratory print it you will get a kind of softing effect to.
The negatives are hell to scan though, so usually it is necessary to adjust them in Photoshop. I'm sure somewhere there should be a filter that gives you this effect even if it isn't a cross negative.
I found an example made by the Dutch photographer Frans LaHaye.
Aha! Yes, there is one. It's a part of the new Nik Multimedia Color Efex Pro 2.0 series of filters. Unfortunately it is only included in the Pro package which is 75 filters and costs $300.
The Cross Processing: E6 to C41 filter's description is...
The E6 to C41 cross process creates a negative from transparency film. This effect creates a contrasty image, with blue highlights and detail fringes.
Now that I know what you are talking about (it's called "cross processing, not crossover), a simple web search turned up a free action over at shanzcan.com.
