2024 Projects
The weather has kept me from shooting lately, but I have a variety of infrared projects in the works. Here is a sample.
🎨 A new collection of infrared LUTs with over 30 color and monochrome treatments, plus an array of styles. This collection could end up being over 150 LUTs. These will work with video editors and any raw editor that supports LUTs.
🎧 An audiobook version of Color Doesn't Exist: A Practical Guide to Infrared Photography. I've nearly completed the recording. What, an audiobook of a photography book? They said it could not be done!
🎛️ Updated reviews for various raw editors, including DxO PhotoLab, Affinity Photo, and Luminar Neo.
🤖 A major update to the Lightroom IR Color Swap Profiles. These profiles are manually created for each camera, and I have created profiles for over 240 cameras. Any update will be a large project, so I'm developing a way to automate this.
