Skip Photoshop and Process RAW Infrared Photos Directly in Adobe Lightroom!
It's a well-known adage that ACR/Lightroom has fundamental issues when it comes to native processing digital raw photos from infrared converted cameras. However, after spending the last two years researching and refining my techniques, I have created a complete infrared editing workflow using Adobe Lightroom Classic. This workflow operates on all infrared photos, including all the major filter types (720/665/590 and more).
With my approach to infrared processing, you'll be able to properly set white balance on color infrared images, extract richer colors from your photos, and perform techniques that were once restricted to Adobe Photoshop, like channel-swapping and hue shifts. By skipping the trip to Photoshop, you can edit your infared photos in an entirely raw and non-destructable workspace.
Limited to 25 attendees
This is an advanced class. You are expected to have a working knowledge of Adobe Lighroom/Lightroom Classic/Adobe Camera Raw
Topics Include
- Fundamental processing workflow for editing infrared raw photos in ACR/Lr
- How to set proper white balance in Lightroom with a custom camera profile
- Performing channel-swapping on color IR images directly in Lightroom (blue sky effect)
- Creating 1-click presets for all types of infrared photos
- 720nm infrared looks
- 665 and 590nm color infrared processing
- Monochrome conversion from color infrared photos
- Creating glow effects in Lightroom
- Using Masking tools to enhance infrared photos
- Fixing problems like banding, hotspots, and vignetting
Bonus content included with this class
- Preset for creating infrared DCP camera profiles using Adobe's DNG Profile Editor software
- My special channel-swapping profile for ACR/Lightroom to use with infrared photos
- My ACR/Lr presets for enhancing infrared photos
Optional: Let me create a custom set of ACR/Lightroom profiles for your infrared camera*
If creating profiles and presets sounds like something you'd rather not attempt, you can choose the option to let me build you a custom set of infrared profiles and presets for your camera (one wavelength). You can then install them directly and use them right away without any trial and error.
*Register by April 10th for this option
