Cross Processing

Original Image

Edited Version After Cross Processing

Today we experimented with the effect of cross processing and what effects it can have on a photo. We did this by using one of our composition images in photoshop and adjusted the red curve, blue curve, green curve and RBG curve of the photo. We also adjusted the colour and luminosity of the photo, to enhance the colour change.

First of all we adjusted the red curve. When adjusting the curve I moved it in a soft S shape to darken shadows within the photo and highlight the red channels and aspects. Then I edited the blue curve to minimalise the blue highlights of the photo. For the green curve I adjusted it only slightly in an S shape to increase the contrast by a small amount. I then shifted the RGB line up slightly in order to make my image a little brighter and so the colours would stand out. For the final step, I focused on the colour balance by blending the colour together with the mode colour to make the image combine its colour shifts and the original luminosity. I also did the same with the luminosity mode to blend it in more as the photo was too bright and not colour based, however after using the luminosity blend, everything looked more professional and effective.
