INFRARED!

hmmm, Jeff, I like the EIR with the orange filter best, I think....I have one roll of this stuff to try and have been wondering which filter.... the top one has a "PS" look to it I don't care for, but the bottom actually looks like IR. It's a cool shot, too, btw. :thumbup: Great sky for IR. note to self: orange filter....

I'd post good old HIE stuff in here, but I'm afraid I'd get bounced out.

PS IR...does this count?

No, IMO this is more of the Sabatier Effect, the partial inverting of image for a positive to negative. A similar effect but different is Solarization. Unfortunately I cant find a good definition of solarization. You may have some of that effect too.

Agreed. I think there are steps to get something that remotely resembles real IR in PS, but I've never seen it done well. Usually it just ends up looking like another tricked-up PS thingy.

Study some images shot with HIE to get a feel for what true IR should look like.

Or better yet...learn to shoot it. It's fascinating stuff!
