Infrared Photo Effect In Photoshop

Infrared Photo Effect In Photoshop
In this Photoshop tutorial I will show you how to create a InfraRed like picture in photoshop. The results will not be as good as if the picture would have been taken with an IR-filter but it's good enough to make an good impression. I am using Photoshop CS5 extended but the steps should be pretty much the same in other versions too.

Start by duplicating your background by rightklicking and pressing "Duplicate Layer". This layer will be named "infrared".

Select "infrared" and move to the channels-palette and select the green channel. This will turn the image black&white.
When having the green channel selected apply the "Gaussian Blur" to it by going to:

                                 filter>blur>Gaussian Blur...

Change the blur depending on your picture resolution. My picture is aprox. 4000x2500 so I will put the blur-radius to 20,5 pixels.

Your picture should now be black&white and very blury.

Change the blend mode to "Screen" on the infrared layer. This will make the picture look sharper.
