NEW IN CONTINUUM 2021, The BCC+ Cross Processing filter creates a photographic technique where print film (C41) is processed in the set of chemicals usually used to process slide film (E6) or vice versa. The final result yields images with oddly skewed colors and increased contrast and saturation. Different film stocks produce different results, so we have created what we feel is a representative look.
Presets and the FX Editor
To select from a selection of factory installed and user-generated presets, open the FX Editor interface and pick one from the Presets window.
Filter Parameters
Amount: Controls the strength of the Cross Processing filter.
Curve Graph: Allows you to make precise adjustments to the color and brightness of the image. NOTE: you will need to open the FX Editor to access this parameter.
RGB: Adjusts the Red, Green and Blue values in the image.
Red: Adjust the red values in the image.

PixelChooser: The BCC PixelChooser provides simple, built-in masking of the effect result. The PixelChooser is generally used to select a portion of the image and restrict an effect to just the selected area while maintaining the original image content in unselected regions. The selection can be based on geometric shapes or on the image’s luma/color properties.
