I forgot to mention, outstanding tutorial. I will be incorporating a lot here into my own IR workflow.

Matthias,
First of all, Capture One 4 goes down to 800 and is a very good converter. Lightroom and ACR can be made to go below 2000K with Adobe’s DNG Profile Editor. This is what I use. More info can be found here:

Hey Mark,

good tutorial, it made me go out and shoot same infrared again. as howard already said: for Canon users it is most important to do the WB in camera and shoot jpg, because ACRs color temperature doesn’t go low enough. there is no way to achieve the same results using raw. does a raw converter exist that goes lower than 2000K?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the IR tutorial. Concerning the custom WB settings, I have two Nikon’s converted, and have generated custom WB to avoid the red cast out of the camera. Unfortunately Adobe software doesn’t recognize the settings and guesses on the WB. And ACR color temperature doesn’t go low enough. So your tutorial was valuable for Nikon Shooters using Photoshop. My choice is to use Nikon Capture NX (in RAW) to set up the image and transfer to PS for color rendering. Adobe really does a lousy job with Nikon RAW images!
