Digital BW, The Print

I shoot a bit of infrared (HIE), scan the negs, adjust in Photoshop
and print digitally. You can shoot infrared to be contrasty or
relatively flat, much IR effect or less so, and grainy or not so much
by adjusting the EI. But that's at the initial capture and
development. I treat it just as any other film in PS and found nothing
special that is unique to IR images. 

But if you're trying to use PS to duplicate IR results with
conventional film, it doesn't seem to work at all. Infrared film has
sensitivity that extends into a range beyond that of conventional
film, so it captures additional information. Without that information
on the neg or in a file there is nothing you can do in Photoshop to
create it.
