Looking for a cross-over filter

Heya,

I'm looking for a cross-over filter to create that very special cross-over effect. Does anyone have an idea where I can find this filter or if there is another way I can create this effect?

What is a "cross over" effect? Do you have an example, or a link of what it is you are trying to achieve?
 
Hi Eve. Just to try and figure out what you are after... Andrew Buckle was the most prolific filter creator using Photoshop's Filter Factory. Here is a link to the page which lists all his sets (each set has many filters in them).

If you click on set #36, look at filter #4 which he calls CrossOver. Is that what you are after?

If so I doubt that any of those filters will work with CS unless newer versions have been made using Filter Foundry by telegraphics. On a Mac none of the Filter Factory filters worked with OS X except in Classic emulation.
 
You get the cross-over effect when you use a slide film but develop it as a normal film. The colors get more extreme and if you have a good laboratory print it you will get a kind of softing effect to.

The negatives are hell to scan though, so usually it is necessary to adjust them in Photoshop. I'm sure somewhere there should be a filter that gives you this effect even if it isn't a cross negative.

I found an example made by the Dutch photographer Frans LaHaye.
 
Aha! Yes, there is one. It's a part of the new Nik Multimedia Color Efex Pro 2.0 series of filters. Unfortunately it is only included in the Pro package which is 75 filters and costs $300.

The Cross Processing: E6 to C41 filter's description is...

The E6 to C41 cross process creates a negative from transparency film. This effect creates a contrasty image, with blue highlights and detail fringes.

Now that I know what you are talking about (it's called "cross processing, not crossover), a simple web search turned up a free action over at shanzcan.com.
 
Okay, yes, cross processing sounds familiar. At the photclub (in Eindhoven, The Netherlands) we call it cross over.

But thanx for the tip!!! It is indeed the filter I was looking for!!!

1. Just keep reversing phase. Sub +, Woof -, Mid +, Tweet - or vice versa.
2. The LCR and CR are usually impedance correction (Zobel) and are right off the driver. In fact, think of them as being part of the driver once they're installed. L-pads for the mid and tweeter are usuallyAntigua Holiday Packages right before the driver as well. The whole point of a proper L-pad is that it does not change the impedance curve of the driver, so the crossover design is the same. I have never used an L-pad and Zobel in the same circuit so I have no idea how that would work.
3. I'm not sure how to answer this one. L-R crossovers sum flat in power response, so 2nd or 4th order should work just fine here. palos verdes taxi Maybe someone who has tried this double-mid setup can chime in and help.
