When you develope your films normally, eg. negative colour films in C-41 process or slide films in E-6 process, that is normal process.
Cross process means you use a slide film and process in E-6 chemicals, or the other way round which I'm experimenting with.
Just received the "slides" back from Ruby yesterday. Though I rate the Kodak Max 400 at ISO 100, the result is still grossly underexposed. The images also lack contrast.

did u mention that u want to have cross process??? i remember see their price list that they do have vross process service... NO LAB DOES C41 TO E6 CROSS PROCESS... in words, its means that u have to mix both chemical... u have to tell them to cross Negatives with E6 and Slides on C41...
by the way... cross process alwasy "dirty" the chemical, so they have to charge higher service...
for my E6 Cross, i bought the chemical to do it...
for C41, my friend's lab does it... but with 1 roll once a while cause i also feel paiseh to dirty his machine...
after all the cross, i did a B/W print ... it came oput better then the normal b/w... btw, i shoot on studio... have not try landscape...
the final concluesion, I LOVE CROSS SLIDIES...

reignman77, guess I phrase wrongly in my first post. What I meant was cross process a colour negative film in E6 process..
You cross using BW films? How much did you compensate your films?
what i did was using expire slides and process C41. the result was good... i mean for me... during the shoot, i just did the normal "instruction" that i've learn... have no intentition for the b/w at first... only the colour print... but after that, just go for the b/w print to see the effect...
when i did it on b/w, it was GREAT... i love the contrast and the tone... the grain is beautiful... bear in mind, the printing spend lots of time, i spend 4 hours just for 12 prints of 8R and 8RS... almost double and near to triple of the normal b/w print...
as for Neg to E6, as mention, it may dirty their "expensive chemical... for C41, its much cheaper... thats why they can do the cross...

for my cross, i want to have the feel of what is it like... although P.S can do the effect, but with neg, there is so much different...
if u do it correct, the effect are impressive...

Erm... hi!
I just wanna ask something. ColourLab and Konata don't offer cross processing for slides anymore. Does anyone here know where else offer it?
Thanks.

Provia 100F slides develop in C-41 process... this is the output...
din do it on purpose, the lab did it by mistake... :cry:

Hi lhjz,
does all these cross processing means slike slide develop into negative?
because that was a mistake made somewhere along the line and got my provia 100f and Kodak 100ES.
What are the strength of such cross processing? When I used my Scan Dual 3 to scan into computer, the colour does not seem to reproduce the original colour of the subject that I took. It looks more like a colour photo being keep for many years and has a tint of yellowish tone (or signs of oldness)
So if I take this silde (which is converted to negative) and develop B&W, I should be able to have good contrast and grain reproductions? I have not yet experiment with this. Would any members please enlighten me please. Thanks.

its really not intended cos i was trying to test my new wide lens with the Provia 100F.. well the film was in a non original canister.. did told the lab assistant abt it but in the end he misunderstood wat i was trying to say(he never come across bulk film in all sorts of canisters 
)
well i will say the output did came out unexpectedly good.. :bsmilie:
actually it depends on how good the lab is to scan the slides and bring out most of the colours in the film.. u can have lots of variations in a x-process film... i will give credit to the lab assistant who scan this for me... i feel she has done a good job... cos 1st try was not good(a pity i din kep the 1st sample).. but 2nd scan produces excellent results..
