Infrared images can not be extrapolated from regular photos: They have no infrared information in them! A photo only has information from the visible spectrum - obviously, otherwise parts of the image would be invisible - and the infrared band is invisible. Infrared films transpose the invisible infrared rays to a part of the spectrum in the visible range - or to white in Black & White IR photography. So unless the original film is infrared-sensitive and does that transposition, it's not possible to extrapolate IR data from photos. Anyone who claims to provide an infrared filter, plugin or otherwise, for regular photos, is providing a look a like. You can never emulate a real infrared photo, only make an imitation.

If you do find a PS plug-in that you are happy with the results, please post! I would love to see it.

Ok you are correct in the fact that you cannont produce the REAL thing but they give a pretty close second.

On this site they have a plug-in (free) that says it will replicate the effects of using Hoya filters including the IR one I believe. You may like it. For the record, I was not pleased with it at all.

WARNING: Downloading from this site is VERY slow.

I wanted to try this plug-in but it is only available for the PC. I am a Mac guy.
