Ted,

In RT color tab I simply reduce the color temperature below 3000 K, for conversion in BW I use 'desaturation' and finally adjust only the red curve in 'RGB curves'.

Thanks for the info.

For full spectrum, I quite like "no profile" which starts out a lot less purple:

just a test shot ...

I am not sure whether that's a proper way all the times, but for the recent images it worked quite well.

The filter I am using comes from Mengs which is below USD 30 on Amazon; the filter thread isn't perfectly machined, but it is quite okay to start IR photography with.

What's your favourite theme for IR?

I don't shoot much IR, mostly "full spectrum" and I really don't do much of that either. But spring has sprung so it's time for more.
