Digital Infrared Processing With Lightroom & Photoshop (Video Workshop)
Digital infrared photography is an incredible way to create unique images, extend your shooting day, and add a creative element to your portfolio. However, processing raw files in 3rd-party software, especially Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom, has always been a bit of a challenge. In this instructional video workshop, I’ll take you through all of the steps necessary to work with your raw digital infrared images directly in Lightroom/ACR and Photoshop. The high-definition video files are downloadable QuickTime movie (.mov) files that include chapter markers for quick indexing. You’ll also receive a printable PDF notes package with screen shots from the presentation showing settings and other controls.
Digital Infrared Processing with Lightroom & Photoshop contains nearly two hours of hands-on training, in which I’ll clearly show you:
- How to choose an infrared conversion type that suits your personal style
- What subjects work well in infrared
- How to create a custom camera profile so that you can set proper white balance in ACR/Lightroom
- Global processing of color and monochrome infrared images in Lightroom/ACR using the Develop module
- How to remove hotspots in Lightroom/ACR and using Viveza 2
- How to convert color infrared images to monochrome using Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro 2 and replicate the classic “deep black” style.
- How to process color infrared images in Lightroom and Photoshop, including:
- Creating a standard (720nm) infrared look from a super-color IR camera
