Haven’t tried the Ektachrome, and I like the green shift so I’ll have to give that one a try. I look forward to the article!

The colors are sometimes a mystery and a surprise. I’ve seen the same film turn out different colors based on the developer used. But most of the time, some films will follow a certain color shift. I’m actually writing up another article that goes more in-depth on these color shifts and what you might expect from various films.

The two films that I commonly use are the Kodak Ektachrome (which turns green) and the Fujifilm Velvia 100 (which turns red) — while the Velvia 50 turns green/blue.

Brian — You’ve sold me on shooting film, but I was wondering: is there an online guide to what color shifts to expect for crossing different slide films? I know what kind of results I want, but I don’t know what kind of film when crossed will give me that result. Thanks for the great tips!

@weedbreeder

I’ve never tried it but I just read up on the process. I’ll check back in here when I’ve given it a go, providing my lab will let me do it

This is what they look like when you xpro color negative film with slide film chemicals. But unless you have a readily available source to process slides, it’s probably cheaper and easier to xpro slide film in the c-41 process — the whole idea is that you can get it developed just about anywhere. Slide developing is usually harder to come by outside of professional labs.

have you tried cross processing negatives and scan them as positives? if so, how do they look like? can you send some? i’m doing research on this but found all use slide films(which are expensive in our area)

[...] over-developing the film — how confusing is that? Then you get these yahoo’s that think cross processing is some kind of toy to play with. Honestly, I take comfort knowing that once I press the shutter on [...]

@Dror: Would love to know where you scored one that cheaply! Most go for around the $100US mark.

I have a lomo script in PS that does a good job imitating the effects. You can google it easily enough, it’s available for free.

@dror: What model Yashica did you get that cheaply and where?
