Photoshop tutorial. See more at www.photoshopmama.net. Short and sweet “how to” for utilizing the Invert Adjustment Layer as a means to achieve a color infra red effect. Tutorial also shows you how to make an action of this process so you can simply click a “play” button to achieve it on any color image.
Invert Adjustment Layer-Make a Color Infra Red Effect Action

but thats “infra blue” ?
that’s amazing. you’re so clever.

there’s a challenge!

visit my site if you are real B
Thanks, I had been looking around for this and your tutorial is just great !!!
Great tip, Phil!
Hi. The first couple of pics I edited using this video the final colours were a bit to rich. I added saturation -40% before following the video instructions. Vastly improved final images. Thanks for uploading this video.
Regards Phil.
tricks are for kids?? kthx
Thanks for that
I think you’re basing your response on limited knowledge of only black and white Infra Red. There is also Color Infra Red. Look up facts about Kodak Ektachrome Professional EIR film and broaden your scope. Color Infra Red and Black and White Infra Red are nothing alike.
Horrible, this has nothing to do with real IR.
cool stuff!!
Absolutely, kudos!
If you use camtasia what screen recording size do you use?
Just a heads up…
I’ts just easier and quicker to make just one invert adjustment layer and then set its blending mode to “color”. It’s the very same thing you are doing there with both adjustment layers.
Where is your blog? I’d like to go see what you did, too!
This is wicked cool! I just went back and did a bunch of my photos — they look way cool. I think I’ll be posting my results on my photography blog tomorrow morning.
I do know a fair amount about Photoshop, & try 2 share that-but also know that I will never know everything there is 2 know about Photoshop & I don’t think anyone can!There are just too many functions, filters, etc that can b combined in various ways which yield a myriad of different effects-Then there’s the brain leak factor-maybe I knew how 2 do that yesterday but 2day it seems brand new! LOL!
Playing in Photoshop is an adventure! Been an Adobe Certified Expert since 1999 & I still learn how 2 do something new in Photoshop every day I play in it! (continued)
