Advanced Infrared Photo From the Regular One

Hi. this is next my tutorial for the Advanced IR from a Regular Photo. I hope you guys already read my previous article about Simple IR. At this point, I'm gonna have a new basic photo. Now let's start the tutorial. Almost forgot! I used photoshop CS3 to generate the effects.

1. I'm using this picture. Still the regular one but this one has more trees and green elements in it.

6. Now let's see if your picture still dark enough or not. If it's a yes maybe you should applying step number 7. If it's not you can skip step 7 and continue to point 8.

7. Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E, this will create new flatten layer that include all the effect made before. Changed the blending from Normal to Screen. Adjust your opacity level so it's not to bright.

8. Add the Black and White layer. The main point is adjusting the magenta to the max. You can try adjusting the other sliders.
