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.

In the game, you take your ship into battle against the forces of chaos across 50 stages of bitmapped treachery, overflowing with glowing enemies and pulsating bosses. Each wave offers a brand new way to play. It looks like a lot of fun.

Neon Tango is available for USD$24.95. A free demo is also available.
