High contrast is inevitable with cross processing.
sometimes works, sometimes looks shit
..I'd say "sometimes it turns out green".
This has happened to me every now and then in the last 10 years, at different labs, with different film, with different cameras..
So most of the time it was the "usual" cross processed look - high contrast, vivid, blues go turquois-ish, bright reds go magenta-ish.. and then sometimes all goes very green, and also (on rare occasions) all the things go magenta.
It's a roulette.Last year with CT precisa I also got the "normal" xpro-look, like these -
and also the greenish look like these -
Also (assuming you did not scan them yourself) - xpro is difficult to scan / if they (or you) use some kind of auto-colour option, and the negs are already pretty greenish for example, then the auto colour may well even enhance this.
Anyways I like the first picture a lot!

A question for you film-heads... I've just got hold of a Pentax Espio Mini, and had a roll of Precisa CT cross-processed and scanned at Eye Culture, and I'm less than happy with the results. Any idea why they're coming out so green and high contrast? I've had both normal colour and B&W processed from the same camera and have been happy with the results and thought I'd get nicer photos with the Precisa, but obviously not...
