Can someone help me figure out what I did wrong? I am documenting a dog show for a magazine article and I wanted to have some fun with it. I decided that I would cross process to get strange, colorful, contrasty photos.

I shot FujiProvia 400F - rated at 200 (as recommended)
I used a Cokin P 046 filter, because I knew that the space would have flourescent lights.

All of my photos are too GREEN! Is it the filter? the film? or something else? Any ideas of how I can make this work?

Thanks in advance!

If you have Adobe Photoshop Deluxe Home Edition, there is a tweek to make digital pics more colour whatever. I think it is adjust colour, or something like that. It is on the other computer. You could try it that way. I had a pic of a suset that I took that was mediocre at best and messed witht eh colours and turned it into a wow type pic! Barring that, you should be able to make the image a different colour altogether. You can do it in Elements 2.0, as I have tried, but didn't work for what I was doing. I shoot digital, with a 10D and shoot RAW so I can really manipulate the pics. It was July, 03 that I last used my 35mm in Crete, Greece.

How did you cross-process it, did you have it processed as slide film?

Have you tried to scan the pictures? Like Canuck mentioned you can have more control of different color balances and effects with scanned pictures and photoshop.
