How to Approach Infrared Workflow
Not all the workflow techniques can be learned at one sitting/reading. It is a good idea to skim through them, with the idea of understanding the possibilities, then return to a specific technique page when ready.
The discussion of workflow is too extensive to handle on a single page, so the workflow pages have been subdivided as follows:
- Assessing Infrared Images;
- Raw-file Conversion***;
- Grayscale Conversion Techniques (and Grayscale Conversion Examples);
- Swapping Color Channels for improved false-color rendering;
- 16-bit vs 8-bit Processing (even for JPEG shooters!);
- Color Space and Gamut;
- Selective Use of Color;
