![]() Some instructions on how to use the Action and the LUT. The Action has been tested and works with Photoshop CS6 and up to the current Photoshop CC v21.x ![]() So a double win for those who want to test it and use it. I have been trying to develop an Action for Photoshop that works with ordinary images or IR images and allows you to make a real IR conversion of a RAF/JPG taken in a camera that has been converted to IR use.ĭuring development of the Action and its associated LUT it transpired that I managed to develop it to also use it with normal RAF/JPG from unconverted cameras. The black and white version is from the filtered shot using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) conversion.A little gift for those who want to see the IR world. The magenta cast is the result of using the filter. This particular image was selected because it includes both deciduous (highly IR reflective) and non-deciduous (not as highly IR reflective) trees so the amount of the traditional IR effect will vary and enable you to evaluate the conversion methods that are presented and create the kind of effect you ultimately want to achieve. Our reference image was made on Daisy Hill using a Pentax K-30 with a Hoya RM72 filter and an exposure of 3 sec at f/11 at ISO 1600. Having that reference image gives you a way of comparing real IR capture with ersatz infrared. This image will serve as a reference because it is a “true” infrared look at the scene that was converted to black and white using Adobe Camera Raw, ( The trees were then photographed as a straight color file that would later be converted into infrared using some of the software and techniques shown here. The first shot was made using Hoya’s ( RM72 filter that, as I write this, costs less than $60 for the 52mm threaded mount. How good is digital infrared emulation? To test the concept I made a few shots of trees using a tripod-mounted Pentax K-30 camera that has a 52mm threaded front lens element. If your camera doesn’t work with IR filters and your budget doesn’t permit converting your SLR for infrared-only capture, maybe it’s time to consider converting some of your existing RGB images into an IR “look” using emulation software. ![]() Using filters to directly capture infrared images has never been easier, but not all digital cameras have this ability and some have only a limited capability. ![]()
