@Eclipse6491 isnt it up to the photographer to ensure hes not in a situation where the lens is at risk? the best ones are weather sealed right (rain, dust, sand). a big lens hood can absorb a lot of punishment :p

whenever i put a piece of something in front of the lens i get ghosting/incorrect focus...

Soo.... what exactly IS cross processing anyway?

lol.

@alexhamster1134 I don't know, maybe people just want a guarantee that their lenses' front element is safe. ^^

[alexhamster1134]

@Eclipse6491 front element has a scratch resistant coating. wear a lens hood, no scratches. what kind of mad situation are you in in order for the front to get scratched? its photography, not boxing.

During a 7D video tutorial I saw that when you shoot RAW ,the preview of the image you see on the LCD is that of a compressed jpeg which would explain why the colors would be better on your LCD and look differently on your monitor, because on your monitor you would be seeing the actual dull RAW image .... Provided, of course if you were shooting RAW :)

I find the best way to get a cross process look is to use a gradient map layer set to soft light and opacity dropped to about 20-25%
