His commercial pictures (skis and >ski boots) are grainy, have burned out highlights and saturated colors. >What is cross-processing? cross processing is when you run E6 film in C41 chemistry, or vice-versa. i've only done it once, this weekend as a matter of fact. i shot kodak 160T and ran it in C41. what i got were weird-looking negatives, which i then printed RA4. i got grain, weird, washed-out and/or super saturated colors, and very high contrast. i think next time i may use the same film but rate it at 100. - --brad - -- brad daly bwdaly@hiwaay.net photographs: http://home.hiwaay.net/~bwdaly "The white man did not take his religion any more seriously than he did his laws, and he kept both of them behind him, like Helpers, to use when they might do him good in his dealings with strangers." --Plenty-Coup (Crow) "War, what is it good for?
