RE: Artificial IR?

[Theo Benson <TBenson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've done this artificially, by scanning Ektachrome slides into PhotoShop,
and then setting colors to B&W, upping the contrast, and using the "neon"
effects filter to give the characterstic glow (Wood effect?). It's neat, but
like all PhotoShop stuff, it's artificial as far as I'm concerned.
