Try a little cross processing on your images in Photoshop CS3

crossprocess 20080310 203054 Try a little cross processing on your images in Photoshop CS3While I’ve gotten started recommending Layers Magazine’s Photoshop tutorials, I should point you to another one I found interesting. This tutorial by Mark Fleming brings a technique from photography’s chemical-ridden past into its pixel-rich present–cross processing.

When I first started working with Photoshop back in the late 90s, I tried and tried and ultimately failed to come up with a way to reproduce the retro looking colors of cross processed photographs…I needed more practice.

Well, now you can follow this tutorial called
Curvy Cross Processing in Photoshop CS3 and enjoy the fruits of Mark Fleming’s labor.

Final Cut Express HD updated to version 3.5.1… might be better… who knows?

Final Cut Express HD users should all have been greeted by the annoying bouncing Software Update fairy/Dock icon urging them to update their software to version 3.5.1.

What wonders can we expect to find in the new update? All Apple’s update page states is “Final Cut Express HD 3.5.1 addresses compatibility on specific hardware.” What specific hardware, they do not say. If you have some “specific hardware” lying around that has been incompatible with Final Cut Express HD in the past, you might want to apply the update, hook up said hardware and see if it works now… you never know until you try.
