everybody thanks for joining me here today for a quick trip Thursday to this
topic
is a digitally it cross processing enterprise just
so if you're unfamiliar with cross processing
it is a technique that was originally and discovered that when
processing our film actual film
so basically the processing negative film it within
a slide chemicals which the positive film or
vice versa cooker create this highly stylized images
the Houthis kind of crazy ass a realistic
I'm unnatural colors and pretty heavy contrast
with their the actual film process
it's not necessarily the exact same luck over and over again
because it does a change these type of film with the amount second set your
processing so it's kinda hit and miss
but it still was very popular luck a marxist
are fashion and wedding photographers
and now we have the ability to really work with that digitally as well
so and with topaz adjusts we have
even simpler way I'm than working with it with our cock
curves their Photoshop technique so let's go ahead and take a look at how we
do this within to pass a jest
I'm sorry if
a few before and afters really quickly much to these were done with just
and a one-click so here's before
and after
again these are really am it's a well-known look for
I certain types to have more edgier wedding
or lifestyle photographs years before and after
but I like to use it on I'm kinda more mundane subjects are graphic subjects
are really
bring out certain turnout is nemitz make it super interesting
or even the landscape images as well years after
great work I had and
pick this image n and then I'll go ahead and take the porch
imagine as well hears before and after
summer term this background copy of just click on my back and make new
copy anchored a filter to pass laps to pass a just five
with Inter pasa just five it is specific to five
we have something called our film collection in the film collection we
have
cross process one cross processed you
3 for
and facts an olive B is an actual turnout is an
and chance you see it being added into this image are coming from
realistic film I'm cross processing
thats at I have had in front of me so I pull all these types tab
works from a different cross processing I'm
that I could use to try to create is more
realistic cross processed tax colors so let's go ahead and start this cross
process five for the semester
that's where the after images in Photoshop so initially just starting out
we have before and
after now I just wanna show you a couple things that each fifties
and presets has that you might want to come over here on the right hand side to
play around with to make it more your own
and I'm not just have it be this one click kind of Fame
look across the am across everything I also wanna show you where these
I'll where these colors are coming from see have the opportunity to change that
one thing that you should know on top love a different towns that were pulling
into this and measure everything into this image
is about contrast the contrast
and cross processed images are usually quite it's usually quite high and
and dramatic an I always tried to rip
remind myself not to be scared too can I lose some other detail
in my highlights and shadows areas where I would be if I'm doing a more
traditional
or subtle processing where I don't wanna go over processed
with my emmitt but this whole look is about being super stylist
and somewhat I'm very contrast series do start to lose that sell
many times I like to come in actually go directly into my head after exposure to
happen to my global adjustments
and play with that a little bit more with all of these presets on notice that
the adaptive exposure said about midway
am assists set pretty high that point five or so
but the regions are at one this is to make it a little bit more dramatic up a
contrast
am adaptively but if you wanna get some
knife localized exposure going on
with in the image and still temperature contrast you can't do that
can do that by taking your region's up
it's going to be a more balanced overall work but now I can come in my contrast
and continue to add contrast into my image
another thing that you might want to know about as well as within the Details
tab
on holidays I have processed details independently to
can detect that topaz look away and given a more natural TTL
enhancement am because without this trip starts: become
grungy but it's really appropriate for some of these texts and images so if you
want that more grunge effect
just on click that process details independently
and you'll start to see that detail in Groningen style comeback
getting also I have added additional staff
detail so if you just want beam
regular details to come with your exposure enhancement
you can work on that by taking that to happen
gonna take this contrast even more up and now we're gonna jump down to
in excuse me the finishing touches tab or other most to the magic here is
taking place
within the finishing touches have we have grain that I added into all these
presets if you don't like grains such as for purchase
uncheck it will become less training
warped I if there's been a warped in most surveys because it helps to achieve
bad underlying warm town that's in most a
the cross processing highlights that you'll find
also there's a bit of a vignette attached to it so if you just
if you don't like that in yet just and check it
in the town to have is really where I love the town is coming from
there's going to be a black and 0 region which is
am the low end over 0 to 255 tonal range scale
still see the black in that color one region you'll see the white
going into the color for region which is positioned at the 255
which is the white and if your tolerance chaos so it all makes sense really
and with them if we're just doing 0 to 255 you should see lower and grey or a
lighter gray well here we see a bright pink and bright yellow
the paint is being added into the shadowy area
our total scale around forty to fifty still see the shadows in between the
trees
and the dark edges and the lakes the shadows underneath the chair
they start to take on the Splunk turn our day going in there
and then you'll see this yellow being added into the color 3 region which
happens to be placed on the higher
or lighter tones apart on a scale so these highlights within the trees
be am highlights on the lake itself for its a little bit brighter here you'll
see that those are more
OVA yellow scale and that's what those are
are being added and to create his cross processed looks
so if you want but not in if you want more black in
blessed this paint color coming into your shadows
are you need to do is take this color to the region could push it towards the
right
because what that will do is and allow you to come in and take
your black to the right as well
making all of this area from 0 to 30 are blacks you can see it really
took their shadow areas made a really strong you can do the same thing with
your whites
she can just come in here and play around with everything and
really see how this is working if you want it to be a stronger cross processed
look you can take this time strength to
be to the left it will add more the town
versus if you go to the right you'll see more and more image itself that can be
really
saddle cross process took as before
and after if that's something you might call federal I
or can be something where you feel %uh this homecoming 3 a.m.
so those are my tips on creating a cross process looks with an adjusted return a
thirty year because this is just a 15-minute session I wanna take some your
questions right now
but I also want to work on another image while we do that so let me cancel
out of here I'll show you again how we ended up
hears before for before
and then after I really love the cross processed like it's a way to go very
super stylized
in a very and unique way track
take a picture here we see this before
and look ahead and hop on an
okay let's see the questions that are coming through
now open on my other screen popped out on over there
with your Glen said can I show how this network with projects
there you go alright so let's take about this
i'd tried see I usually come over here
and when I actually looking for this cross processing technique and issues
the presets first
and kind of get am inspired by will
one of these looks and then move on from there it's a great place to just start
out
and so with this particular portrait image removal week
kinda more attracted to this kind have green aqua sky aim
am
yes I like that better can wear brown
and their chance happening verses red
so like what's happening here
celibacy I'm gonna go into my finishing touches first
attend actually do this I go to my finishing touches in the town first
McKenna hop up in a May global just minutes
usually completely different workflow from a regular price: a
I'll regular workflow processing MIS NHS retentive
at we usually say go from the top to the bottom well with this particular
technique
I like to get my color correct first and then play with it
suffer the pritchard image there's a really heavy grain set
on I love the is let me show you that
see can seem hears before
and after and here's with the grain for me I'm going to go ahead and take that
green of
and just get a smooth airport should
I like the warped where is
I'm not too concerned about my vignette let's open up the stem
so there's a couple things I'm not really liking I'm losing some detail
here
if you like I am the skin tone is going a little
to
greenish some gonna bring some other white I get back into these highlights
the way that I meant it as a technicolor 3 region
down which will open up the blender between
my eye color for which is why and
the blue so I have some more additional way into my highlight
same thing with P brown
under terms I wanna get some have the darker
darkness coming back into my shadow same just gonna take this more to
the right which will increase the blend between Matt Lakin my brown
if you're interested in how the stone module specifically is working and Jimmy
I do you have a quick tap webinar that specifically goes
over the stoning much awesome and that well
give you a little bit more inside if this cannabis throwing a bet
in a minute check out my town strength I'm actually increase the town
just a little so here's a wrapper for
after completely different image out together
now in a good in mind after exposure and figure out can I
open up some the shadow areas in
kinda give a little bit more balanced going on between her skin and everything
out so
manages to take this region's anger to you
yes and maybe even three automatically I start to get a little bit more balanced
event image tone
at exposure wise it's going to you
take my really highlight areas like erskine
and the sky and darken it verses her
dressing hair it will lighten that's that's really nice
I wanna bring some detail back and some open at my details in unchecked process
details independently
here's where we were
now I can add detail I can feel the individual hairs I like that better
we might even take that strength up just a little on her details
when it comes two years before and after
and that is how I would work with an image when I have the house
add gordon says are the color choices for regions to you and
three-part the preset am yes
did color choices are not different
the region is not going to you select the
turn ality what it's going to do is help
the exposure be locally
applied across your MS is going to help balance out the town's
so if you find that here it's a little too
contrast e for you but you can have like the overall feeling
know that all of these presets over here this cross process once and that's when
I just wanted to kinda tell you about all of these presets
all start off so this is where we were they all start off with
a an adaptive exposure mmm adjustment approximately
.5 an inner regions I've won
the room the reason that regions as one is because
cross processing is not usually a very balanced
type have tonal
range she's a quite contrast E so when this region's
as that one it is going to be quite contrast the appeared after exposure has
backed hi
says I take my doctor exposure up you see it just continues to get more
contrast MR contrast E
and fell I take my regions that
and then all of a sudden it started balancing it out and
allowing time now you to come into both my highlights and my shadows
and balancing that exposure out some that's just a check
as far as this particular presets are concerned
Glen in regards to the porch a damaged as holotype darken the image more with a
bluish cast
great question so okay let's say am
you can manually your got this cross process three preset
my suggestion when we get back to where we were
nearby right here about right here
we had done this taking a price change
just wanna get back to work so far I was like in that have particular
a fact so the grain with and checked
and then we have a couple things here that I can suggests you plan
if you like berm overall feeling on the overall towns
but you're not necessarily liking the work there is war
that is placed into you all of these presets
so you can either and check back to you and you get a more cooler feeling
or you can even take that down and get a much cooler feeling
of not necessarily changing the town's
or let's take this back up to 10 where
way since you can kinda still keep that war about it but change the
let's say
he said he wanted bluish cast
when you come into your town we can do this I'm
10 well what I would suggest that you look at the MSG decide where do you want
that pushed out you wanna in your midterms do you wanna in your
shatter regions so let's say I wanted last love this warm tone in my shadow
area
and more love a bluer
at tongue so I just open up
my name actually this is more like this
yes it was
I can do this a couple different ways I would probably personally choose
wannabes
and and go for a blur worst happen and goat
for blue just in my shadows there's quite a lot a blue actually happening
in my I'm highlights he'd rather be a different blue you can just open that up
and slide that to a different lil
and then you'll start to see those changes take a fact
or if you want it were your shadow areas open up your shadow
at home were towns for this particular one test for Blacktown in this more
orangy brown town and you can
push it more towards the blip some not sure if you just saw that but here's
where we were
unless we change that to the blue see all those at
lower I
Midtown shadows just turns
more bluish if you ever wanna go further than that and have
be very darkest colors take on a blue cast you can open that up
and get your black tickets your blue areas
Airblue open that up to where you start getting there
Navy your darker blue press OK
let's make it a little bit more obviously can't tell
so here's before
and after everything can just are taken on tablets out
if you want it to be stronger and you want more that's home color being added
into your image to take that town stripped-down
it'll be a stronger a fact
Ascot senses regions and after exposure early two regions and finishing touches
it does not be at the doctor exposure in regions technology has been into a
passage last
since the beginning basically what it is is arm
the adaptive exposure will be applied to your image differently
based upon how many regions you select your image to have
you can look at the region's kinda like a great at that is placed upon your
image
as you take the region's am
up there's going to be more and more and more columns
and I'm rose within that grid
that's a very quick wave at me describing it there is
a quick tip video on our YouTube channel
that was added last week that says understanding regions and her passage
ass I think it's a quick 10 minute one that were actually show a nice little
slideshow
that's just exactly what the region's here does
as far as the region's and the finishing touches under the town
this is actually your color one region your color to reaching your color 3
region your color for region
the region's arm am
talking about that area are the total scale
from 0 to 255 the
0 being black and 255 being white
so if your color wanna
region which is this your color one is
am the square bobbitt the little am
swatch color above it that blue your color one if its place at zero
then you're that color is going to be placed
into you your darkest
area your and edge switches can be that black area
minutes gonna slowly blend into
the next color region areas so this particular color to the region is as
as that eighty on the tunnel scale so it will be a blend between this color and
discolor
as you I'm
and you can change that you can change in fact we wait what's happening here so
I think it's it's a lot of fun to play with these things
then your color to the region will blend into your color 3
the color three is actually place pretty high on the am
later area of the image she have a long-planned a fifty-year
these two colors and then last year color 3 will blend with your color for
now just to give you a quick idea what's happening you can create a negative if
you just go
the opposite direction on both these things to take your time strength all
the way down
so you can understand I just switched the color Ford now be 80 which is
white has been placed into you the darkest areas to make
image then we're blending into
this other color 3 which is now in the shatter regions
this other this color too which is now on my lighter areas and then the darkest
color the darkest blue is now in my skies for her back if you're really
quick idea again
he wants you take it look at that I'm
at thats video
quick trip Thursday am talking about the
tunnel at DM toning abilities within a just five
it covers back weights I'm thoroughly
with that I will let you go and I hope you have a good morning
evening or day wherever you are take care everyone
