Is there a "Infrared" Photoshop plug in that creates an infrared film effect. Is it any good?

Mitch

try www.fredmiranda.com. He has some photoshop Actions, and one is an 
IR look. He charges a small fee, but it looks pretty good.

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.

The only one I know of is Nik Color Effects... Quite expensive, but 
most people think it's pretty good (never used the Infrared one).

There is a free demo version for download.
