Thanks I was starting to think these were too artistic for potn.

would love to know what pp u did on these

Underexposed both of them, so I could boost the exposure and get some nice camera grain, it just looks better than added grain.

1: Cross processed, cant remember the exactlt what I did, just adjusted curves until I got the look I wanted.Then added a layer, filled it with 50% gray, then went to texturize, grain and switched it to vertical, overlayed the gray layer and adjusted accordingly.

2: Cross processed, unkown levels again, just got the look I wanted. Added a paper layer and added a scratched film layer, one of them I switched to a negative and overlayed...cant remember which one but if I were to guess Id go with the scratched film. Saturated the red and lowered the vibrance.

All color adjustments were in Lightroom and layers/curves were CS3.

very cool.. I love your gritty look

Very cool photos. I do have a question though...you said that the pics were "cross processed"....I've seen this term used before multiple times but I can't figure out what it means. Could someone enlighten me please?

OK...I answered my own question Here's a nice explanation along with how it's done for anyone else wanting to know http://www.photoshopsu​pport.com …/or/cross-processing.html

Yeah I rarely keep any of the original color in my photos. I dont go to the extreme of having that green of shadows, like in the link you found but yes it isnt hard. There does seem to be a fine line between too much and just right.

Also I like to think even though some of my photos are grainy, or drenched in shadow or what not there can still be beauty in them, not everything has to be so technically perfect in a photo. If its a bright day and there are shadows ....use them to your advantage. make a weakness a strength, and thats what I feel I am doing

for example...I didnt go to the degree of editing on this photo yet I still love it, simple..at least to me.

I agree...it does look like a clothing ad!

Thank you

Really nice. I think some people PP without much of a purpose - just to say they could. This is PP with a purpose.

A lot do, I agree. Thanks for taking notice of my intentions.

Very unique PP done on those images. Very nice.

I have noticed I have started to use more PP to get a certain look I am actually looking for. Maybe it is the mood I am in or the feeling I try to portray through the PP.

Whatever is done it is always interesting to me to see what people do because to me it shows me what you want me to feel
