I might be stating the obvious here, but all infrared renderings are "false value" or "false color" because, since the human eye can't see infrared light either in nature or in photographs, the infrared values have to be converted into visible ones. Even infrared devices like FLIR convert spectral information from below the visible end into visible light.
I say that to say this: if Photoshop mimics infrared in a pleasing way and matches your photographic goals, rock on. But Carpey is right that visible light photos manipulated to look like infrared are not the same as true sub-750nm imaging. |
