Cross-processing

Slide film in C-41. The colors get loud. The rules get bent.

Wrong soup, right color

Cross-processing is running slide film through C-41 negative chemistry. The colors shift hard — greens go electric, reds go orange.

What to expect

E6 slide in C-41    + high contrast, wild color
C-41 neg in E6      + low contrast, pastel, risky

The rule

There are no rules, which is the point. Bracket your exposures and embrace the surprise. It's the cheapest way to shoot like no one else.
