Cross-Processing (or x-processing or x-pro) is traditionally associated with the technique of developing positive or negative film in the chemistry meant for the other type. This usually meant processing C41 (negative film)in E6 (slide film) Chemicals & E6 in C41.

The result is altered, often unnaturally saturated colors, and high contrast. It has been popular in fashion photography for years and has maybe been overdone on occasion... :-)

However, it's still a neat effect but for those who shoot digital this process can only be achieved through computer trickery.
