Cross processing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Cross processing is a term which describes the procedure of processing photographic film in a wrong chemical solution. Cross processing is usually done in one of two methods:
- Processing negative color print film in E-6 chemicals (intended for use in processing color reversal films)
- Processing positive color reversal film in C-41 chemicals (intended for use in processing color print films)

Cross processed photographes are often characterized by unnatural colors and high contrast. The results of cross processing differ from case to case, as the results are determined by many factors such as the make and type of the film used, the amount of light exposed onto the film and the method used.
