Cross-Processing
TLR Cross-Processing
applies colored overlay effects to your images that simulate the
interesting artistic effects that film photographers achieve by
cross-processing color film (i.e., processing color negative film
with color slide film chemicals or using color negative film chemicals
to process color slide film. Your image can be in RGB, CMYK, or
L*a*b mode.
Available Cross-Processing effects include:
- C41-E6(Blue)
- C41-E6(Cyan)

The PhotoKit Color Effects Toolkit uses pixel-based layers to conceal
its operations. This means more RAM is required to work on the image
and the file size bloats. Every image pays a performance penalty.
The C41-E6 actions in the TLR
Cross-Processing actions use a Curves adjustment layer to reduce
RAM consumption and file size. The E6-C41 actions, however, use
a pixel-based layer because Unsharp Mask is used for the effect.
TLR Cross-Processing
actions create Layer Groups/Sets on Photoshop CS/CS2. This makes
it easy to manage the layers.
Each cross-processing effect is composed of two layers: a Cross-Processing
layer and a Luminosity Control layer. This second layer allows you
to restore as much of the original luminosity information as you
desire.
Optionally, a creative tint can be added with its own Solid Fill
adjustment layer. Again, using an adjustment layer gives you more
flexibility and reduces both RAM and disk space requirements.
You can easily adjust the effect by altering the luminosity control
layer, layer opacities, the the color of the tint layer, and/or
the Blend If settings. That's lots of flexibility.
