Dear Sam I just want you to know that although I havenīt been making and posting an IR-photo yet, Iīm still so very grateful for your help, and I look forward to sitting down when I have the time for it and make some hopefully nice IR-images:-) Take care and once again- marvelous photo! I donīt agree with those you say that this can only be done with a film, filter and camera!

I've seen this lake many times but never like this. I am pleased that someone in the Prescott area has started to post some great images. I'll be following your portfolio prett6y close from now on. Great AZ shots are a comfort when I'm away from home.

Sam, I too must thank you for not only sharing this beautiful IR piece, but also sharing your technique. My infrared pieces have been mainly limited to false color filmwork and both b&w film and digital. I have however admired the clever use of classic false color IR contrasted with true color compositions. Yours is the first detailed explanation that I have had the pleasure of researching. Very well done Sam. Thank you. -john

Annemette, First off, let me thank you for your comment. I really apreciate it.
Sure you can ask how I did it. It is rather a long winded process, but here goes.
First thing you have to do is open your IR photo.
2nd thing you do is Duplicate the layer.
3rd thing is, while looking at your layers palette from left to right there are 6 buttons. they are in this order.
Link Layers Add Layer Style Create new Fill or Adjustment Layer Create new Group Create new Layer Delete Layer
So After you open your photo and Duplicate it( CTRL~J on PC Command~J on a Mac)If you hold CTRL downa and press J it will duplicate it for you really fast. They are called hot keys.
The next thing you would do is click the Create new fill or adjustment layer on your layers palette. When you click the Half moon looking button and selection menu pops up. When this does click on the one named channel mixer. After Selecting Channel mixer, the channel mixer will open up. You have 3 channels to choose from. Red-Green- and Blue. In the Red Channel set the Red to Zero and The Blue to +100, Leaving the Green Channel alone. Then In the Channel drop down(arrow pointing down next to the word RED. Drop it down and select the blue channel. When it switches over set the Red to +100 and the blue to Zero. Doing this will switch the Red and Blue channel. After you do this, the next thing you need to do is Merge the adjustment Layer with the Duplicate layer. After this is done you can proceed with your Normal work flow.
Remember a few things Annemette. When work flowing a photo, Always Duplicate your Photo Layer. and Use the Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer. By workflowing your shot in this manner it gives you more adjustment options because your adjustment is on top of your photo and not a part of your photo. When I work flow a photo I Always have whatever I am doing to the shot wheather its a levels adjustment or Curves or selective coloring ect ect as either a duplicate layer or a new fill or adjustment layer on top of the original. If I ever use smart sharpen I first Duplicate the layer(CTRL~J)pc(CMD~J)mac, then I use the smart sharpen. By doing it this way I can erase the ares that I don't want or need sharpened and keep the ones I do. Anyhow, I know this probably a bit more then you wanted. But If you ever want to see how its done, Let me know your email Address and I can work flow and IR Photo and send it with a tutorial. Best Regards Sam Graziano III

Aah this is such a beautiful IR-photo, Sam!! Soft white trees making the image so dreamy and inspiring. The blue and white colours make it look like a winterscape from the North and not a landscape from Arizona:-) May I ask how you did it? Iīve tried doing it myself in PS without so much luck as you. Best wishes Annemette
