Color Doesn't Exist Holiday Sale
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.
π¨ 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.
π§ 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!
ποΈ Updated reviews for various raw editors, including DxO PhotoLab, Affinity Photo, and Luminar Neo.
π€ 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.

Accurate White Balance in Color Infrared Photography It has been four years (!) since the release of the Infrared Profile Pack, and I wanted to create a fresh introduction to this pack and the challenges of white balancing in infrared photography. You can find this short video on various platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and Facebook. Question: Do you prefer this short-form format (under three minutes), or would you rather watch long-form (10-20 minute) videos? Let me...

Infrared Lens Database A common challenge for infrared photography is selecting lenses free from hot spots. Some resources list many lenses, some cover only specific lens mounts, some offer detailed descriptions, and some offer test shots. Finding everything in one place is hard, so I created the Infrared Lens Database. Your raw image contributions made creating profiles for hundreds of cameras possible with the Infrared Profile Pack. Let's do the same for lenses! Let's build the most...
