This listing is for a infrared false color tutorial CD
. It comes with a tutorial for adding false color to infrared pictures as well as a bonus Photoshop action for automating the process.
Included in the CD:
Basic tutorial and overview of adding false color to images taken in digital infrared.
Photoshop action to automate the process in Photoshop
Basic instructions on installing the action into Photoshop (Photoshop elements has a more complicated installation. If you have elements, make sure you are comfortable installing photoshop actions already, or google the process)
Detailed tutorial for adding false colors in GIMP, a freely distributed photo editor.
Includes the advanced Photoshop action suite, and advanced false color processing tutorial. The false color action suite contains 5 actions, the standard channel swap, a channel swap that only keeps the
blue color, a 665 to 720nm action, a 590nm to 665nm action, and a 590
to 720nm action. All actions are meant to be run on the picture direct
from the camera, before it has been channel swapped.The supported actions are:
Standard Channel Swap- This performs a standard channel swap, changing red skies to blue, then auto levels the image, and nothing else.
Channel Swap and Only Blue Color- This
performs the Standard Channel Swap above, and then reduces the hues of
all other colors besides blue. This is intended for the 720nm filter, it
will enhance the white color of the leaves. It fixes some white balance
issues where the leaves remain slightly pink, purple, or yellow. If you
are using the 665nm or 590nm filters, use the actions below instead.
665nm to 720nm - Performs a channel swap and
then reduces the hue of yellow channel. It goes further than the action
above, and increases the brightness of leaves as well to look like a
720nm filter was used. Also recommended to run this action first if
using the 665nm filter for B+W pictures, it will increase the contrast
of leaves.
590nm to 665nm - Makes the 590nm look like the 665nm filter was used.
590nm to 720nm - Makes the 590nm look like the
720nm filter was used. Also recommended to run this action first if
using the 590nm filter for B+W pictures, it will increase the contrast
of leaves.
NOTE: All actions are written based on
starting from the original, non channel swapped image. If you are
starting with an already channel swapped image, you can run the standard
channel swap action, then run any of the other actions.
