Infrared Conversion / Work Flow Photo Gallery by Dave at pbase.com

Infrared Conversion / Work Flow

Feb-2006: For a long time, I have been planning on putting together a Work Flow to share my method for post-processing. When I have time, I will be making updates to this gallery. A small handful of people have expressed some interest, so I hope that I can share this information with many more. The workflow below is a combination of things I have learned from others (too many to mention) and my own experience. Comments / feedback are welcome; I would love to hear your thoughts...

You can visit some of my 300D IR images here: https://pbase.com/dlarson2/infrared_images
Also, please check out: https://pbase.com/dlarson2/ps_camera_irconversion for a link to a self modified P&S camera project.

In case it is not obvious, each image will have some descriptions/instructions below it, so you may need to scroll down to read everything.
*** The basic assumption is that you already know how to use Photoshop and understand how to use your camera in Manual mode. ***

Hi, I really like What you do, Don't stop helping people, it's really kind. I was wondering, If you modified the camera to achieve these results... Have you took out the IR blocking filter in front of the sensor?

I still dont know how to do it.... :-(

Thank you very much. Although I had figured out most of the steps, you showed me a trick or two and you had fewer steps with less 'finagling'. Nice job. John

Hey Dave, great idea and I am looking forward to the final portfolio. My only question here is the structure of the workflow. Am I missing the initial image that is being converted? Either way, pleas add me to the handful of people that has expressed an interest. Having observed your infrared images I am looking forward to learning how to achieve those. AMAZING!!!
