This really belongs in a Canon 10D group. There are several on 
Yahoo! Groups.

The brief answer is that the hot metal filter blocks so much IR, it 
is absolutely impactical to use the Canon 10D for IR photography. 
Shots typically require tens of seconds.

You cannot convert them after the fact. 

There are PS actions that claim to give images an IR look by using 
old photographic techniques such as solarization and posterization. 
Those are not true IR images nor are they converted IR images and 
should not be described as such. At best, they are faux IR images.
