Free Spam! This was the first time that I'd ever tried spam, and it was wonderful!

I've been looking at a lot of images that have been photoshopped to re-create a cross-processed look (pictures shot on print film, but developed as though for slides, or vice versa). I like the over-saturated and gritty look to them.

Basically, it seems the key is to really work the curves in photoshop. Here, I added an exaggerated S curve to the red spectrum, a slight S curve to the green, and narrowed the range of the blues. I finished everything off with a slight yellow cast.

There's many ways to go about doing this, with variable results. It's fun, but doesn't necessarily work for every picture.
