[PlayRaw] Infrared Fake Colors

[Daniel_Catalina]

I took this image using an Neewer IR720 filter and the Fuji X-T2 with the 14mm Fuji lens.

I was trying to make something like here: Przemyslaw Kruk's Haunting Infrared Landscapes Will Stun You

But I consistently failing at processing the image to go to that direction, so I thought to throw a challenge here

My take using darktable:

I hope I did not forgot anything…

Have fun and please share the processing steps!

Two rounds of darktable.

Difficult task, there is not much color information left.

[Daniel_Catalina]

Is this because the filter is to strong? Or should I try a longer exposure time next time?

[Thomas_Do (Thomas)]

No idea, I never “played” with this kind of filters. I only found the challenge interesting.

[Daniel_Catalina]

Ok, Thanks for playing

Perhaps have a look at Raw Therapee for DNG infrared image processing - #9 by sguyader

[Daniel_Catalina]

Thanks!

The picture from Choosing an Infrared Filter - Kolari Vision says everything.

For that look I seem to need a weaker filter.

Here’s my emulation. The masking needs some work, but the idea is there

Looks great!

Mantiuk06 op in LuminanceHDR > RawTherapee.

Then colorized in iDeepColor, just automatically generated with no hints.

A less dramatic Kodak Infra sim in RawTherapee:

Then of course lets see what iDeepColor can do for us… (two hints)

Nice image. Here is my take. I went the B&W route.

1. PhotoFlow → WB (more B) → HL mode (blend) → linear Rec2020 (no clipping) → 32f
2. gmic → filter pixels
3. pnmclahe → enhance contrast
4. gmic → grey scale → adjust contrast, brightness (curves) → enhance contrast (edges) → crop → sharpen (LoG) → resize → vignette → brighten (curve) → frame

Zoom to 100% and enjoy!

@Daniel_Catalina merci for the hell field >> I think a foreground object could have enriched and nurture the perpective-stroll-4-the-eye a bit

@HIRAM those pistacchino and chocccolatino versions!!!
@afre you liked beardy, so a personal fav of mine Corey Henry and a special one Hallelujah!! jah jah

gmic… well g’mic went rogue, gimp was jealous and crashed me computor!!!
only neu zing is gmic’s cubism in BKG layer and me own LUT (initializer.cube for personal REF)

 
Cheers

How about pointing a satellite at it?

@chroma_ghost

I like the crystalline effect it has on the upper sky.

[chroma_ghost]

the “cubzism” image itself was not that bad… maybe a bit too a(bs)tractive; cheers mate
