In this video I'm going through the basics of editing of a few infrared landscape images (shot with a modified camera) using Adobe #Lightroom and Adobe #Photoshop for the Editing and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor to create a custom camera profile. • If you'd like to support me, Patreon: / phlog • Instagram: / thephlog • Facebook: / phlog • A few years ago, I got myself a camera capable of creating infrared images using certain filters in front of the camera sensor. Due to recent events I had a bit of time to take a look at some older images and edit them trying different methods. My goal here was to create that classic infrared look with a nicely saturated blue sky and a mild pink tone in the grass and foliage of the tree. • 1. Creating a custom camera profile • The raw infrared images come with a strong red colour cast which needs to be fixed by setting the proper white balance settings. Sadly, with the camera profiles coming with Lightroom/Photoshop this can’t be done correctly since the temperature is limited so I had to first create a custom camera profile using Adobes DNF profile editor (you can find it for free here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/dig... ). With the custom profile created I can go drop the white balance temperature more than usual which fixes the red colour cast. • 2. Basic Adjustments • First, I chose the camera profile I just created. To set the right white balance I used the eyedropper and picked a colour from a bright spot in a cloud (the colours still aren’t right, but that will be fixed later). Then, I adjusted exposure, highlights, blacks and whites to spread the histogram as far as possible without over- or underexposing anything since this gives the best results in my opinion. For some extra contrast I added clarity. • 3. Fixing colours • To fix the colours I created a channel mixer adjustment layer. Here I dropped the reds to 0% and increased the blues to 100% in the red output channel and did the opposite in the blue output channel. Now you can already see the classical infrared look. I further adjusted the colours by boosting the saturation and hue of specific tones using a hue / saturation adjustment layer.
