  • +Infrared Effects in CS4

    February 3rd, 2010

    The super intense Infrared effects can be created with a special camera and infrared film or you can take the easier route and change any photograph in Adobe Photoshop CS4.   Look at the foliage in the tree…they seem to glow.  Click here to view a great link showcasing outstanding infrared photographs.

    4. Under “Presets” in the black and white window, select Infrared.  Using the channels, finesse your photograph to bring out the infrared feel.  The “red” channel really changes the glowing effect.  I also added a sepia tone to the final image.
