Re: PhotoShop Infrared Plugin

You can also use a simple PS technique to simulate IR, and make your 
own actions. It goes something like this:
1)Add a channel mixer layer mask to your RGB image, set to 
monochrome, set green channel to 200%, red to -30% and blue to -70% 
(play around with the red and blue settings a bit, keeping in mind 
you want a total of around 100%)
2)In the channels pallette, highlight the green channel and apply a 
guassian blur filter. Then you can go to "edit" and fade the blur and 
apply "screen" or "soft light" or whatever makes you happy.
3) Voila! IR from RGB

Got this from Adobe PS 6.0 for Photographers by Martin Evening, solid 
reading material. Good luck.
