    Sara Moon´s color was achieved by cros processing slide film (transparency), it means you would process slide film with c-41 chemicals (C-41=regular color film).

    Tjhis was really big in the nineties, Ellen Von Unwerth was really big around this trick, cross processing ypur fil would give you this overly saturaterd colors and they would become yellowish/green as a result of the chemicals destroying the silver particles instead of fixing them...

    I´m no expert on the process but I´ve been shooting for 17 years now and did this a lot in the late nineties, I asume you have to tweak photoshop a lot and experiment, it will be a no brainer soon, though you should really try to get your hands on some slide film, shoot it 1 stop over exposed and tell the developer to put it in the C-41 machine and push it 1 1/2 stops, have fun!

    • cross processing was big in the 90s? I think you had your numbers upside down :) maybe you meant 60s? :)Miguex
