Infrared Photography Effect
Keywords: free, photoshop, trick, tutorial, smile, teeth

 

1. Open your image.
2. You may want to boost the saturation by a notch for a more impressive effect.
3. For a more dramatic effect, darken the dark tones.

4. To get a good looking Infrared effect you simply need to play with the Channel Mixer with a few rules in mind.

  • My normal setting is 200 for the Red Channel and a total of -100 for the Green and Blue Channels. Remember to keep the blues fairly dark and the greens light for a realistic effect.
  • The three channel values should add up to 100 to keep the contrast.

5. Create a duplicate of your image.

6. Blur the upper layer using >Filter>Gaussian Blur.

7. Hit "D" to reset your Foreground and background colors.

8. Add >Filter>Distort>Diffuse.

9. Reduce the layer opacity (?) to 60%.
