These sort of venues are a nightmare to expose correctly.

Yes, I Photoshop the picture, but I started out a long time ago using Photoshop before I started with Photography. The picture of Frankenstein isn't copyrighted and it's OK to modify the image.

Can’t remember if I’ve shared this before.
One of the prettiest churches I’ve ever visited.

Thank you; you've just reminded me that I have a Panasonic G1 converted to 680nm IR, and with the bright winter sunshine coming it will be ideal to get some time in with it ;)

How do you PP colour shots? I generally do a channel swap then some tonal cleanup and done.

Here's one I took a couple of years ago in 680nm, as you can see the golden tones are creeping in at this IR range...

Very nice!

I just learned of a different technique from channel swapping that I prefer: inverse color.

Move the image into PS (either from LR or directly importing it). Change the mode to Lab.

Highlight the channels tab to view the channels. Highlight the b channel and then press CMD-i. This will invert the colors in the b channel. You can then stop if you like what you see. You can also try inverting the a channel. Sometimes one or both of these will be enough.

If you want to get fancier, you can create a curves adjustment layer. Then pick either the a or b channel. You will see a spike in the center of the curve with a white arrow on the right at the bottom and a black arrow on the left at the bottom.

In RGB mode, these arrows would represent white and black clipping points respectively. But in Lab mode, since luminance values are all in the L channel, they adjust the colors in the pic. So by playing with these sliders in both the a and b channels you get massive control over how the colors in the IR pic are displayed. Since they are sliders, it's very easy to experiment and see the changes in real time. Coupled with inverting the a and/or b channels, it's fairly easy to get the colors to display the way you want them.

I've found that Lab mode is awesome for IR pics and often works better than a standard channel swap.
