Pseudo-IR
B&W Film Reproduction

A single Photoshop compatible plug-in filter for creating a similar look when using traditional B&W infra-red film.

It is not an exact match but will provide you with a quick and easy way to re-create the effect digitally using your standard colour photographs.The RGB sliders will also allow you to tint the overall image if you wish.

For best results use this filter on landscape scenes. It is also quite effective on certain architectural elements too. Not really suitable for portrait subjects though.
