Thanks for your help.

Thanks Sam but that wasn`t for me,it was for other
Non-IR viewers.I uses a IR converted D70,also
the Dimage7 which I uses for B&W..AWESOME and cheap.IMHO Cocam IR filters are as good as they come.
Regards and keep posting your wonderful posting IR images.

Our work flow varies in that I uses 'Color Balance
& Hue/Saturation plus I rarely sharpen,I love to soften my IR.

Sure Robert,
Recipe= the following
Camera-lol
Tri-pod
Shutter Release
Lens- Now when it comes to the Lens you are going to use, make sure it is subject appropriate. Meaning Wide Angle for Landscapes and Telephoto for Close ups.
I used the EF-S 17-85mm Canon with a Hoya R72.
IR Filter( Now with IR Filters, they have a wide variety of IR Filters. I have found that Hoya Makes the best best IR filters on the market.
This filter is used for photography with infrared films. Infrared film is also sensitive to ultraviolet rays and the shorter wavelengths of the visible spectrum so it is necessary to filter out all but the infrared rays. Hoya makes two types of infrared filters: R72 passes only infrared rays above 720nm; RM90 passes only that above 900nm.
One of the most important things to remember when shooting IR is NOT to have your Aperture Set at anything higher then F5.6. Because if it is, you will get hot spots. Now if you have the IR blocking filter removed from your Camera then it doesn't matter. The reason why it matters with the inturnal IR Blocking filter still on the camera, is the shutter speed is dramatically increased.
I hope this helps you Robbie.
My Best Regards
And thank you for the comment.

Take care
Robbie
It would be great if you give a camera setup for Canon 20D and the compatable IR lenses since not all lenses are good for IR.
Thanks for generating interest in IR.

After You have done your work flow, You can go back and make any adjustments or dust spot removal that may be needed.
I know that this isn't a very indepth Tutorial, but I figured that most people will know how to work-flow there images. So I decided to just post the basics and the nessesary thing needed to be done to convert your image from IR to False Color IR.
I hope that this helps.
My Very Best Regards

Your Curves adjustment is your personal taste and image needs. I adjusted mine to the following a basic S curve adjustment.

After you have achieved the desired levels adjustment, merge it down to the duplicate layer and then use the curves adjustment in the Create a new fill or adjustment layer.
