Just trying a cross processed look. Any comments?

Cool photo!

Try it out in B & W ... I think it'd look quite good as a higher contrast b&w image.

Looks good, I would like to see it in B/W as well.

ok, how's this? I can see that i'm losing her upper left arm against the truck. A bit too much contrast maybe.

Nah, I like the cross processed one. The red polka dots are great.

I really like the original. The contrast and color is really great. Nice job!

The cross process one looks really nice. What action did you use to create this effect, or did you develop it yourself? Also, I don't really care much for the vignetting, but that's just personal preference.

Thanks everyone.

To get this look I tweaked the R, G and B curves individually on an adjustment layer which takes it to about 90% of how I wanted it to look. Then I duplicate the orig layer and do some high pass filtering with a hard/vivid light blend mode. I think that's pretty much it. A lot of tweaking with those curves, though.

Doing some adjustments I say the b/w one would be nice.

very nice conversion!

I really like the first one better.

i totally dig the first shot in cross processed color. the image has a kind of drugstore cowboy grainy feel to it. awesome. continue this pp tweak with more shots of your girl, with eyes visible and a sexy dangerous look. kick ass.
