Cross Process with Kodak Elite Chrome

[doUbleCHIN]

I just finished a 36 roll of Kodak Elite Chrome 100 and cross process using C-41 hoping to see "whacky" results. :sweat:

However, I noticed almost all of my shots have got a lot of yellow tone. Below is one sample. Some other shots exert even more until detail also not obvious. It just look unusual to me especially after seeing some of the shots xpro with the same film. Really nothing like this. I am not really picky but seeing all 36 shots having the same color tone just look weird to me.

The film is not expired. I am wondering does the "color" largely depends on the chemical or the lab we send to? Or something else.

Many thanks for any reply.

Each lab process their films a little differently and in this digital day and age, most of the chemicals used for processing film isn't changed very frequently. This could cause your yellowish hues.

The "colour" depends on the chemical, the lab and the brand/kind of film you use. I went to many labs before I found 1 that produces the results I wanted. Unfortunetly they have closed. It'll also depend on the subject you're shooting lah. You can expect a not so colourful subject to turn out whacky just because of cross processing.

Which lab did you go to btw? Hope what I said helped abit.

Thank you very much Lurgee. Yes I also suspect is the chemical cos all 36 look the same to me. Very "cha lat" :bsmilie:

The one I went to is KT at upper cross street. Btw, in your opinion, where else can we try and xpro?
