think it needs a bit of fill in flash to remove the shadows on my chest

you have like 7 fingers on your right hand. it doesn't quite look like a cross processed image, but it's getting there. i don't mind the shadow on the chest, but the face could be brightened up a bit. imho...

you're off to a great start, definitely!

Zilly, as a really quick way of achieving a cross processed look what i do is duplicate the layer and set the blending to hard/soft light. Then adjust curves to suit your image. Its a VERY quick way of getting an approximation of a cross processed shot. If you post the original we can all have a go too :D

one orignal shot

Here's a quick attempt. Duplicated layer. Soft Light (blending). New layer, filled with blue/green. Soft Light (blending) - 50% opacity.

Good lord check out the objects in that!! You get the idea though. Im not saying it's better than your original, its just the way i do it.

[Zilly]

yea it was the only place with some natural light hence the heavy crop in my attempt

kool cheers going to have a play when i get home from work later

Thanks

No worries mate, its good to see someone else is a fan of cross processing images. Ive got one on here somewhere (cant quite remember) but if you want to see a more in depth attempt search through my 'threads started' bit on my profile.

found it!

what do you think

i think it needs more opacity

[Eyelikedurt]

all id say is that there's quite a bit of shadow detail lost in that edit, it might be the opacity of the blended layer. im sure you could bring out the detail with a few tweaks if you wanted to. the floor seems to have a better texture in the last edit which i like.
