Infrared Photos with a Canon Digital Rebel?

Ok. I have been searching and searching for information about this. So, basically what I have learned is that my film Canon Rebel K2 will probably fog up if I use the Kodak film, but will probably work fine will the Ilford SFX film. My digital Rebel I need to do what? I have read I need a lense filter, flash softener, tripod, photoshop, and what? I am so confused from all the other posts. Can someone give me some direction on what I need to do to shoot digital infrared? Thank you.

 

Hoya R72 and a tripod.

it's also possible to convert standard shots to IR using photshop.

I have a couple of actions saved on my machine but since i've never done any IR shooting on film, i couldn't say if the photoshop actions were accurate.

They seem pretty good but i have limited experience ie none, in IR shooting

 

How do you convert to IR in hpotoshop? I thought it was pretty much impossible...

 

Ok. So I have a the filter and tripod. What mode or settings do I need to put on my camera? All manual, right?

 

So did I but i did find a couple of actions that convert standard shots to IR. I'm at work just now so can't access them but if you want to pm me i'll email them. I use PS CS2. Not sure how they work in other versions or if they'll even work at all.

 

I should add to my previous post that I'm not claiming the infra red action as my own - I found it on the internet so if whoever wrote it finds this post then let me know and you'll be credited where due

 

I found the site hosting the IR Action here

There a few actions so might worth a trawl

 

Hollywood air kisses from LA, thank you!

 

A "thanks" would have been sufficient!!!
