Thank you for this Rob. I'm using DxO more and more (mainly because I love the way it renders RAW Files). Thanks to your influence, I'm using LUTs for my Infrared Photography. Based on Dx)'s current limitation with using more than a fe of them, I can see myself picking my top ten and loading those into the program. Best wishes and many thanks again, Stephen
I need to give it another go, last time I tried it was buggy on Mac. Really over Capture Ones interface issues now also and their subscription garbage. The Hue 180deg adjustment looks simple and nice overall as I hate working with Affinity and having to develop an image from RAW before further adjustments can be made then wanting to adjust WB again
I am seeing less sharpness around edges of my infrared pictures taken using lumix dmc-zs25 self converted camera with 590 nm ir filter. Is this normal?
This could be due to a couple of factors. 1) Corner sharpness tends to be worse in infrared compared to visible light. 2) Diffraction tends to be worse both in infrared and with cameras that have a smaller pixel pitch. You can see this here: www.diffraction.cam/?camera=Panasonic+Lumix+DMC-ZS25
@ Could you please add Lumix dmc-lx2 and dmc-fz70 to the camera list. I am planning to convert one of these and wanted to check which one would be better. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this field.

Appreciate all the info! After getting sale emails from dxo and Topaz, I was debating on finally updating to newer versions of the software. I currently only use denoise / sharpen plugins but got curious about the full software.
I use DXO Photolab 8 in my workflow. It is indeed good and with each new version it is getting better and better with more options. Greetings from Poland from the city "Fortress Przemyśl" and thank you very much for these videos they are really good and give a lot to think about to improve your skills.
I have a Nikon P7100 converted with a 590 filter replacement. This camera is not included in your supported cameras list . Has this camera been added to the list? The RUclips is very useful to me as a beginner and I would really like to add the LUTS to my IR workflow. Thanks
Here are the instructions for adding a camera. www.robsheaphotography.com/infrared-profile-pack/#add-camera
hello i would like to know if i buy your infrared book as an ebook, can i translate it into french? by translator system i am already advanced in infrared but i am really interested and passionate
You are welcome to translate for your personal use.
@@robshea yes but can it work or not? because unfortunately often the applications do not work .....
@@davidmereghetti9053 Unfortunately, I don't have a way to validate the quality of a translation without hiring a professional translation service.
Got ON1 Presets today and installed them in PhotoRaw 2025: success! 😊 Thanks, Rob! 👍
I know this is an old video, but right now this cost around 450-500 with filters in kolari website. Which is only around 100 dollars difference with converting a canon eos r100. Which is a no brainer option if you already have a number of rf lenses and want to try infrared photography, right?
The DNG Profile Editor does not run on the newer MACs -- I have a MacBook Pro M3 and the editor will not open an image. This is fairly well commented in various places on the Internet, but Adobe has not responded as far as I can tell
This has been the case for a few versions of the macOS. Checkout the Infrared Profile Pack, which has custom profiles for hundreds of cameras. 590.red/infrared-profile-pack
Of great value to me. Thank you.
Have you experimented with infrared photography in or near fires?
Yes, here is an example: instagram.com/p/CQ4hicQn0GT/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Hi Rob. I use a full spectrum Sony A7. Do I create a different dng custom profile for each different filter I use like the 550nm and the IRChrome filter or do I just create a custom profile without any filters on?
For high-pass filters from 550 to 720nm, you can use profiles that shift colors temperatures to allow for the good white balance, such as those in from the Infrared Profile Pack. 590.red/infrared-profile-pack For the IR Chrome filter, custom profiles are not required. However, you can check out the Chrome Profile Pack. 590.red/chrome-profile-pack
Fabulous review this. Could you please let me know how to check which lens produce hotspot and which does not?
I have a collection of lens resources here: 590.red/lenses
With regard to the question about Nero not recognising RAW IR files. I have a Nikon D90 with a 590nm internal filter. Catalog recognises it as a RAW image whilst Develop module doesn’t. I contacted Skylum who advised the following I have received a reply from our engineering team. Please note that the issue lies within the shots made in IR format due to the temperature limitations for the RAW format. For now, our app has a limitation from 2000 kelvins to 50000 kelvins. In this specter, the RAW files will be recognized. I have also forwarded your request as a suggestion for future expand of the supported temperature. I’m certain I used neo before with my camera without issue. I don’t know about other photo editors but I know Affinity doesn’t have this limitation. Is there a way to change the temperature in camera to get around this? Bit disappointing
Most cameras have a limited color temperature range, which does not support infrared color temperatures. Here are the ways that you can correct temperature with different raw editors. - Some raw editors allow you to use a custom profile to lower the color temperature range. This includes raw editors such as Lightroom, Photoshop Camera Raw, DxO PhotoLab, Exposure X, and Luminar Neo. See www.robsheaphotography.com/infrared-profile-pack/#editors - Some raw editors allow for a wide range of color temperatures below 2,000K. Editors such as darktable, RawTherapee, and Affinity. - Some raw editors allow for a blue/yellow adjustment instead of color temperature, such as ON1. - You can also use a Tone Curve to correct white balance. ruclips.net/video/GwcsFH-s61Y/видео.html
@ Thanks Rob. The link you supplied is helpful, but I’m not sure how to take the next step. Do I load a profile into Adobe’s DNG profile editor then bring in the RAW file to output a .dng file? My understanding with Neo is that you import the profile via Develop Raw which I don’t have access to because of the temperature issue?
@@tomgardner9963 This is the major downside of this Luminar issue. If Luminar recognized the image as raw and then just set the Temperature at the bottom of the scale, as other editors do, you'd be able to load a profile to correct the temperature. Since it blocks this, the only other workaround in Luminar is manually defining a channel-by-channel tone curve for each image.
Thanks - that's a shame. Thanks for the advice
I have a 470nm conversion. Curious if you or anyone has tried a chrome filter on that? It's not full spectrum, but would pass the test on allowing 470-550nm.
I might work. The lower bandpass might pass light above 470nm. However, I have not tested it.
@@robshea thanks for all your videos, actions and luts!
Thanks Rob interesting Video, I have a R72 Hoya and have not been successful and converting my images from a Canon Rebel T 6 with the Infa Red Filter . Think you video might help assuming the camera is compatible with the filter. Look forward to seeing some of your other videos. Once again thanks
That camera should be fine with an R72 filter.
Hi Rob, Sometimes I use the Hoya YA3, the green one, coupled with the R1 Pro 590 nm or the orange 550 nm. I read onto an infrared forum that these combos could simulate the Aerochrome. Of course, I can’t use them with ultra wideangles because of the vignetting.
I'll give that a try in my next set of tests. Thanks!
Thanks Rob I have learned a lot and am looking forward to having a conversion. I have a question I am considering using my Olympus Omd Em1 mark 11 to convert do you know if focus stacking is usable with infra red ?
While the focus plane is different in infrared, mirrorless cameras can easily focus, and focus stacking should be possible.
I was around for the chrome colour infrared film and desperately miss it. How do I recreate it? I guess it’s more Red than pink. Thanks!
I don't know that anyone has found the perfect way to recreate it. But as a result of the chase, we have many new styles to choose from, such as those in this video, more filters I'll be testing, and dual bandpass filters such as IR Chrome.
@@robshea thanks! I think your pink is very nice but it’s not quite right. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated 🙏
Hi Rob, I'm about to buy my first infrared camera, do you recommend a Nikon D3000 with 590nm? Can I put the Hoya R-72 filter on that camera to get the 720nm effect even though it's originally 590nm? Or can I emulate that effect with the "White" profile you mentioned? Thanks and greetings from México
The D3000 is a solid and affordable way to capture infrared images. Ensure that you use the live view for focusing and not the optical viewfinder; the optical view finder is calibrated for focusing in visible light and and will produce soft focus in IR. The 590nm conversion is a great way shoot IR. You can get color infrared images with no external filter and yes, adding an R72 will get your traditional infrared with white or lightly saturated foliage.
Hey Rob, Your IR video got me interested in photography. I bought budget canon 450D/XSI camera and converted full spectrum IR. Have all necessary filters for shooting. I am running into blurred images. Any suggestions?? Also if you have any video done on free version of editing software? Thanks in advance!!
Ensure that you focus with on the live view screen and NOT the optical viewfinder. The optical viewfinder focus is calibrated for visible light and will not be accurate with infrared. darktable is free. Here is a playlist of videos: ruclips.net/p/PLW4H_E25cS0rjrnkebbQ0AgyMS1i5C3jO RawTherapee is free: ruclips.net/video/bJFgcRIDLoE/видео.html Here is a complete breakdown of the editors that I have covered. www.robsheaphotography.com/raw-editors-infrared-photography/
Hi, What is your opinion on cameras that are not infrared converted that are used with a lens Infrared filter? I seem to get pretty good Infrared BW just using a filter with a long exposure.
You can get great IR shots using a regular unconverted camera and a Hoya R72 of other quality 720 nm filter. You can capture lightly color saturated or monochrome images. It's a great way to get started with infrared photography!
I love the challenge of making the colors and there's no way I would have the patience to make all the vegetation color correctly in PS. QQ Is a KB-15 = an 80A? I'm wondering why the chart showed the 80A in parenthesis. It seems odd that there is a 'U' for all other KB-XX filters, but the 15 ends up being a ski slope. Thanks!
The B+W KB-15 is the same as the 80A from other manufacturers.
Thanks. Interesting numbering choice.
Very helpful as I am printing a Blurb book soon of my infrared photos. Thanks!
Highly addictive this ir hobby - good job I can really only do b&w with my Sigma. What's your ideal wb temperature, Rob - or does it vary?
If you are using a temperature shifting profile, the exact temperature doesn’t matter. I prefer something between 2,000 and 50,000 so that I have the ability to tweak. If it is at either end of the scale exactly, you loose that ability.
Love the KD-20 + X0, thanks for sharing, brilliant as always.
Will this also work on the mobile, iPad version? Traveling light and using only the iPad mini and printing on the Instax wide format
The ON1 mobile app does not yet support the desktop presets.
@@robshea but the other features are there for me to do some basic layers adjustment? Color swap, white balance, tweaking other IR based elements?
@@a.nevillechamberlain7612 I have not tested all of these features on the mobile version yet.
No matter how I try to load your profiles they do not show up in Lightroom. I have added other profiles but yours do not show up. I've read everything I can but I can't figure out why they don't show up.
Here is a guide to help: 590.red/where-profiles
Fascinating! Someone popped up on reddit using the 80A and getting really interesting results. I wasn't sure I believed it
Thanks for all the info. I've had a full spectrum modified Canon 90D for years now that i use for astro photography with great results. I've finally ordered a couple of IR filters for daytime use. I'm sure it'll be a learning experience but I think I'll feel like I'm really getting full use out of my camera. I'm excited for the journey! thanks again!!
Brilliant, only the other day I was shooting some sunflowers using normal and converted cameras, I experimented with an 80B filter on the full spectrum, the results look interesting, I haven't put them on the computer yet. Will now look to try other filters and combinations! 😀
Great video. I’m more interested in black and white infrared. This video is encouraging me to experiment with filters
Great RUclips video, I’m learning more than I was ready to absorb. I have a full spectrum conversion camera, some filters, but want to use mobile iPad for the post work. I have a portable printer to output the results and do it all mobile. This is motivational to get me out and about to be creative every where. Thanks
This is high octane fuel for the GAS
💯
Rob how do Candy Pink and some of the newer color presets translate into print? I am putting together my first Blurb printed Infrared book and I am wondering if some of the more dynamic colors will not print well. What are your thoughts?
When printing infrared, some of the colors that look great on screen will not always be available in print. If you are using LRC, I recommend making a soft proof of each image you intend to print, setting the desired output color space, and adjusting as needed. Here is a video on the topic: ruclips.net/video/aDVRetYytgg/видео.html
@@robshea Thank you so much!
Just wanted to drop a note that in DxO 8, both of your wishes have become reality! Tone Picker and histogram in the Tone Curve now. Otherwise, love your channel. This video I came across when I was decided to upgrade from DxO3 to 8. I wanted to see how much had changed. (spoiler: TONS!). I have also just got started in IR photography, so it was a double bonus to see how DxO works for that. I even ordered your book, and have it open next to me while I'm editing some IR pics I took earlier today. So, thanks for all your help so far!
Awesome! I'll need to do an update for DxO PhotoLab 8.
I still miss Aerochrome ... 🦘
Interested in these filters but I cannot find any available. Can you post some suppliers please?
I recommend Hoya and B+W filters. The 80A, X0, and X1 should be easy to find from a variety of manufacturers, new and used. I purchased these filters from B&H, Amazon, and eBay. The KB-20 is going to be harder to find; I found it on eBay.
Here is a B+W KB20 filter on eBay right now. Says it is 48mm. This is a strange size for filters. 48mm is used with astro telescopes, but this is not a type of filter that would be popular for astrophotography. It is possible to get a step up filter to go to 49mm or even 52mm or 55mm. But there is risk of vignetting using a 48mm filter on a lens that wants something larger. I am showing this one as the KB20 filter is difficult to find. You need to keep trying to find the harder ones to find and perhaps you get lucky and find it. I like to use a moderately wide angle lens for this type of photography. And if I am going to stack filters, I like to use a larger filter than matches the lens filter threads and use step-up rings to make it fit. For my modified Olympus EM5ii, I use an Olympus 14-42mm lens and it's filter size is only 37mm, so I bought a number of 49mm filters to use with it. But I also have the Panasonic 14-42mm lens, and it's filter size is 52mm, so now I try to only buy 55mm or larger filters.
There is so much variety of using filter combinations like these, that it is difficult to remember what results different combinations can produce. A solution to this that I use is to use a spreadsheet where I create tabs for each filter combination. And on that tab, I will paste examples along with what white balance I used and what I did in processing the image. And it really helps me remember.
This is why I wanted to start with a comparison like this. I took notes while shooting, added each filter as keywords in LRC, and it was still tricky to keep track. Taking good notes when switching filters is critical.
Interesting video I am looking at picking up some filters for a IR converted X T1
Hi Rob, nice video again. Another nice combo stack is the Hoya X 1 + Hoya C8 blue cooling. I tried the combo's you showed as well with my converted Z6 ( and in 2008 with my converted Nikon D 200, which I sold and I kind of regretted that (UV-photography ).
It looks like the C8 is equivalent to the 80C, which I have acquired, but not yet tested. hoyafilterusa.com/products/c8-color-conversion 80C (C8) cools by 1700° K 80A (C12) cools by 2200° K Thanks!
Love this! I should experiment more with filter combinations, so many fun color palettes to play with.
One more thing, there is an alternate manufacturer that produces a KB20 filter. I have not tested this alternate filter, and from what I have seen with the 80A, I wouldn't blindly believe it could produce the same results.
Rob, you did a great job on this IR presentation! Some additional comments: There are other manufacturers that make 80A, 80B and 80C filters. I have tested using Hoya and get great results. But I also have a Rokunar 80A filter, and the results are not so good. I suspect that the response to IR light is likely different since for a visible light photographer, this is not a concern. I don't have any other 80A manufacturers. In place of the Hoya X0 and X1, I have several other filters that I like: Asanuma YG(X0) -- This is a hard-to-find filter and produces very good results. Лomo Ж3-1.4x Yellow -- This Russian filter, also hard-to-find, produces great results. Vivitar YG(X1) -- Slightly different results than the Hoya X1 filter. And finally, a one filter solution that can replace all three. There are two manufacturers, but they seem to work identically. Both are hard-to-find, but by using a single filter, are less likely to cause vignetting at wider focal lengths. Vivitar Cromo Blend Blue Tiffen Blue Vari-Color Blue Be sure to do this with a full spectrum modified camera.
I’ve picked up more filters to test, such as the 80C, 82A, Лomo Ж3-1.4x Yellow, and the Tiffen Vari Color Red-Blue (different than the blue-only variant). Still on the hunt for the others. This is becoming as addictive and hunting for vintage lenses. 🤑
The Tiffen Vari Color Red-Blue is controlled from red to blue with an additional polarizing filter that when rotated changes the color. I have the fixed Tiffen Vari Color Red and the fixed Tiffen Vari Color Yellow, but haven't produced anything useful with those filters.
And I should add that with mirrorless cameras, it does not matter if you use a circular polarizing filter, or a linear polarizing filter. The mirrorless cameras don't care.
Another hint is that you can get very interesting results in changing the camera's white balance (white/gray card WB, sunny WB, cloudy WB, etc.) Of course, other things in the image can take on strange colors. But strange looking sky colors can easily be fixed with Photoshop's sky replacement. Or in Lightroom, masking is now so powerful that you can fix all sorts of strange color problems with things you don't want to have strange colors.
The 80A and the 82A combined, along with doing a custom white balance on the blue sky produces an interesting burnt orange/brown result that is interesting. Sometimes the camera might not succeed in doing a sky blue WB and what I find works is to bump up the exposure compensation 2 stops, then do the white balance, and then go back to the desired exposure compensation. And the Лomo Ж3-1.4x Yellow filter + 80A is interesting too. With different white balances, the results will vary. With a cloudy WB, the results are similar to what I see with the Kolari IR Chrome filter, and with a Sky Blue WB, the results show more orange.
I really loved this video .. thanks for sharing ur finding
I'm ordering the Hoya filter while watching this
Thanks for all the IR content... If I bought a converted Lumix G1 with a 850nm sensor, would I be able to do any of these colour edits? Or will everything shot only be in black and white? Thank you in advance!
An 850 nm filter will only capture infrared light, no color visible light, so the resulting image will be monochrome. You won’t be able to capture color, but you could add color with color grading.
@@robshea Thank you for your quick response! I see... I guess it'll be hard to get those dusky blue skies and reddish/pink trees then with just colour grading when using 850nm. But I'll still give it a go. Thanks again. :)
@@bowieknife True, but it can give your monochrome images some style.
So what camera white balance should I use or does it not matter?
It you are shooting raw (recommended), setting the white balance in camera does not limit your choices when editing, but it can make it easier to preview compositions. If you are shooting in JPEG, you should set a custom white balance on a neutral subject, such as clouds or pavement.

Will the same results be obtained using the ExpoDisc 2?
I have not tested the ExpoDisc 2. From their FAQ: "We developed a new combination of diffusion materials and are now able to test the ExpoDisc v3 from 300nm-2200nm. The new ExpoDisc v3 exhibits even better light transmission with optimum performance from 380-1600nm. In the visible spectrum of 380-700nm the delta is just .9%, and from 380-1600nm it is just 1.8%, which means the ExpoDisc v3 can now be used for IR photography." www.expodisc.com/pages/expodisc-2-0-faq
