Re: Perils of Infrared Photography

Lew the software to overcome this problem is called 'DNG Profile editor'.

It is an unsupported program from Adobe. However you can still download it and 'tweek'  a profile for your camera that overcomes the 2000 K problem. The limit of 2000 Kelvin  seems seems to be an Adobe restriction only.  Capture One goes lower than that. I once asked Thomas Knoll why Adobes programs do not go lower than 2000 Kelvin - but did not get a proper answer.

I can make a 'User manuel' on how to do it if you need that. It is fairly simple.

However this is mainly/only a problem if you want to make false color pictures.

If you are going for BW it really does not matter. Then you just have to note what the dominant colors are in your IR picture when entering the BW conversion.  I use NIK Silver Efex Pro II and On1 Photo 10 BW conversion. Both are very good.

I notice that the person who started this thread uses a program called Zoner Studio Pro. Never heard of it.  And I do not know how to do it in that program.

But in LR and ACR I do know how to do it.
