Hi there

I'm looking for any tips or experiences with C41 film cross processed in E6,
ie so the result is a transparency film. I'm looking for exaggerated colours
(ie highly saturated and possibly contrasty) or any effects or colour shifts
which might be useful. Can you please specify the ISO used for the film and
the e6 processing details ie Normal or pushed "x" number of stops.

Has anyone found any websites with test results re the above?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
JJ

Try Portra 400 VC, shoot at 100 or 64 and get the lab to push 2 stops.

Won't the colored masks cause problems?

Thanks Serge, what is the effect you get from this film. What do the colours
change to?

Ummm... the colours are sort off heavy purples/blues/greens/browns somewhat
muted. So try with slightly contrasty light.
