Cool! i’m buying it now.
As I said on facebook, it really is awesome, but the only catch for me is the icon.
Just bought it. I like it so far. There are a couple of things I’d like to see different. Like seeing the on/off switches underneath/on top of the photo while I’m turning them on/off so I can see in realtime what the changes look like.
It seems like now I have to go to the on/off ‘menu,’ make changes, then go back, but the changes aren’t made? I have to start from scratch again to get the changes? I also think the ’save the original’ should be defaulted to on.
Just my opinions about the interface, the results are very nice! Nice job.
Awesome app nick! I hope it goes as well as ShakeIt Photo did.
Amazing job!
Bought
Might wanna watch out on the 4th screenshot image in the appstore.. the naked Barbie doll might get you banned from the appstore for sexual content!
Nice…any possibility of an android version?
Nice! Bought it – works fantastically.
It’s great, but there are a few things that bug me. I wish it would give me the option to select a photo or take a new one when I launch the app. I hate having to click cancel if I want to select one. Also the photos aren’t geotagged so when I import them into iPhoto or Aperture there is no GPS data.

I agree 100% with the option to select a photo instead of canceling every time. Nice app though!
Great app! Better than ShakeItPhoto and any other photo app in the appstore
Thank you, Nick!
Bought it, great App Nick
Well done, another great app. Looking forward to playing with it as much as ShakeItPhoto…
Dude that application is killer, I send a mass e-mail to all my friends, family, even clients that I know they will love this app. I just want to know what is the gray scale gorilla e-mail because my outlook is not working right now and when I click on the E-mail Me it redirects as always to my e-mail application. Send me the e-mail address so I can talk to you about some good things ok, take care.
Very cool. I dig it, I bought it reluctantly b/c for me it’s kind of cheating. I’ve been trying to get great photos out of my Diana+ now for 2 years and only have a handful of pictures that turned out great. But film and the process is expensive so this should work while on the road.
Thanks again.
Cool look, but I don’t think this looks “cross processed.”
Love it!
And, yes… you included that border on/off feature. Nice!
Got some issues with image compression/grain.
Seems to be very heavy compression.

Hmmm… Can you send some examples?
Kevin Schmitt on February 24th, 2010 said...
Sure, I send some tonight.
(in about 10 hours as of now)
bought it so fast.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU SIR!!!!
good stuff brother.
Talk about making shit look cool!
What a great app!
Thank you NIck. I’m a big fan!
Jason
Yo Nick, this is awesome. Your cross process always looks the best.
Any ideas on a lightroom preset?
Looking forward to checking it out!
amazing app, just like shakeit photo but i noticed something, sometimes when you select a photo from your library and you process it, on the display it seems to be like ….(crap i dont know that word)…. mm like when you see a 4:3 pixel aspect on a square pixels pixel aspec ratio.. (mm my english sucks).. but when you go exit the app and you go to your photo library, that photo you just toke is look right.. so maybe you can check that for a future update, but for everything else it works, “like magic” (i need to practice my english……)
Damn thats cool. Love this one too! Getting it now. Honestly your apps is the reason I keep holding on my iphone.
Love the app, buying it right now
Can you make a tutorial how you can achieve the cross process effect in photoshop.
I tried it and got a decent result but i’m not so happy about it…
thanks in advance.
Lrns.

I bought it, and I think it’s great! The icon was pretty slick and modern, too.
ONE THING: I got a bit confused with the on/off options on “red”, “blue”, “green” and “basic”. Why am I able to turn on more than one of them at once, when just one of them can effect a picture at once? When I turn on one of those switches, the other ones should turn them selves off, if you know what I mean? Or am I wrong?
Anyways, I really loved the effects that you gave us this time, and it added a real crispy, retro, peaceful look to my iPhone photos. Really slick.
Lovely! You’re gonna be a millionaire.

Just one thing, I don’t really like the iPhone app icon you gave it. It just seems a little bit basic and dull. I don’t know if you care, but I’d think it would be better if the off-black background was a little more off-black and if the gradients of the color circles were clearer. In my opinion, as it is now, the symbol is not enough made by you. The RGB circle thing is something we’ve all seen somewhere before.
Loved the ShakeItPhoto app icon
And the app itself is brilliant. Good work!
Hey Nick! Nice App by the way, i really love the treatment the photo’s get. BUT there are a few thing that could be changed.
Possible changes:
1. GPS Tagging
2. Interface needs changing (Icon placement)
3. Photo could be moved up, after taking photo to make way for the menu. (Overlapping of menu and photo)
4. Redesign the App icon. (Not as nice as ShakeitPhoto)
5. Redesign the menu in the main screen (Maybe glowing rollovers)
Also it’s annoying to having to go back to delete photos. You should be able to discard and retake within the app.
Nick, you probably already have a good idea of what changes maybe be required. I’d just thought i’d give you my opinion.
**great product, but let down in the execution of layout.**
GREAT APP IDEA!!!!! PHOTO EFFECTS ARE SOMETHING TO BE SEEN. AMAZING!!!!!
Nick I love your work and I’m an avid fan. I’ll definitely be spreading the word.
Is there any before and after samples?
don´t add unnecessary features to it – keep it as simple and good as it is!
Hey Nick,
Congrats on your new app! I just got it this morning and I already fell in love with it. It is certainly more advanced than your previous Shake It app. Love the different processing settings, really neat stuff.
Do you develop your apps by yourself? Just curious…
Thanks.
Phil
I already loved Shakeit Photos.
Now i’m in love with your new app.
Bravo!
fuckin sickk !
works great! only 1 issue:
when using a photo from my library, it seems to crop off the left and right side of the border, leaving the white border on the top and bottom only – anyone else notice this?
Simon Gustavsson on February 24th, 2010 said...
This is just the default view in the photo library, you can pinch it out and see the whole image.
chris on February 24th, 2010 said...
HAHA woops
thank you
LOL! You released your app on my birthday!
Bought it today! Looks GREAT!
Yeah I have the cropped boarder thing in my image library too. Great app though. The camera on my 3G is a little crappy but I’ve got some good results from the tests I’ve just done and I like it! Cheers nick, good price too. I hope you kill it.
Thanks Nick just bought it and can’t wait to use it.
Just bought it ..having fun with it .. works well …
nice app man, I just bought it
bought it as well, go and buy some icecream nick!
It’s so nice – i’m loving it!
bought. Have a well deserved beer Nick.
Just found 2 tiny thing that probably don’t matter that much: when you process a cropped photo (not to ratio), the app displays the result photo stretched. If you go into the Process screen while the photo is being processed (say at the negative portion of the animation), the app will display the result in negative. Both will not effect the saved image. Wonderful app, having fun with it now.
I’m having tons of fun with this app. Sometimes it doesn’t save the new image, which I think may have something to do with the processing speed of the phone. Usually I just open the image and try again and it works. Either way, I have been entertained for hours going back and using cross process on all my photos.
Tons of fun!
Sick work man! Cross Process is the 2nd app for photography to make my iPhone homepage. Guess which one was the first
I bought it as soon as it came out. Home run, dude.
I’ve been following your other sites and have learned a lot. So, thanks for putting in the time. It’s appreciated.
What about a tutorial on several techniques on cross process effects in After Effects?
Coul you tranfer your process to AE?
hey nick, you could tell what fonts you used for the titles “CROSSPROCESS” and “ONLY 99″ on website? beautiful types. thanks.
Nice to see CrossProcess doing well Nick, Congrats!!!!!!
yay!!! best app ever
I showed my wife some of the pictures I processed and she said “it took that crappy photo and made it something I’d want to frame”. So I guess that’s a compliment.
Thanks for the great app Nick
I just downloaded the app, and it is AWESOME!!!
Great job Nick
Keep up the great work.
How the heck do you post a slideshow? Come home and show me please. The internet is hard.
Nick
I absolutely love this app! Best .99$ I ever spent. I cant stop taking pictures with it. Great job!
Nice job! really does come close to cross processing. its funny reading the reviews on the app store of people complaining the effect is not that “noticeable” U need to make a “lens flare” app for those folks
Great app. We downloaded it today.

just amazing my firnd, thanks very much for everything
I am allready in love of this app, i´m starting a photo diary, one per day max three, and most of them will be taken with cross process.
And I do post them with posterous of course
this is phenomenal, it would have been a done deal at $10, I was floored when I saw it was only .99!
I’ve checked out a ton of your tutorials through google and vimeo searches but only came to your blog for the first time today.
Keep up the awesome work, and I’ll definitely be checking this page out regularly!
I love it! http://eos8.deviantart.com/art/Espresso-157483239
Love the app, just posted a review of it on my site. Great job!
I just posted 10 images from the many I’ve shot with this so far, http://paulagostinelli.com/2010/04/07/cross-proccessed/
Great man! Just bought it and works really well.
love this app! It MADE this shot.

Great shot! So glad you like the app!
I love this app! CrossProcess just makes every photo look better than the original. Beats any other holga/polaroid app out there, by far.
BUT – in some cases (why?) it reduces the image WAY down to 640px wide, and creates a strange moiree pattern (check these shots versus the originals to see patterning):

But, more importantly, I’ve got a request: I love this app so much that I wish I could apply your CrossProcess filter to high-res photos from my other cameras, without involving my iphone – could you make a Photoshop Filter/Action that we could download?
Julia on June 26th, 2010 said...
Since CrossProcess makes the photo go from ‘blah’ to ‘let’s frame that one,’ I feel bad for not showing some good before-after shots, here’s some from last week

The Gorilla on June 27th, 2010 said...
So glad you like Cross Process, Julia! We are working on a higher rez version of the app that will work on iPad and iPHone and will process any photo you throw at it. No plans for a desktop app right now though.
Great shots BTW! Thanks for posting!
