Absolutely brilliant Rob! I recently picked up a full spectrum Nikon D5300 for astrophotography and got a 720nm filter for some daytime IR shooting. I’ve watched over 2 dozen videos on workflow and post processing but this just simplifies it so nicely and crystal clear! Can’t wait to try this out! Thanks so much for this beautifully detailed description.
Thank you .I have just purchased a 720 filter and a converted ir camera . I haven’t used them yet or used lightroom with any IR files . Will definitely setting up lightroom with your settings.
I'm just beginning this adventure having recently converted (by LifePixel) one of my Nikons. I had downloaded your free Lut's for my camera and followed the instructions for installing them and they worked fine in LR. I have the subscription so I have both LR & PS. I developed an issue with my computer and with some help from my son-in-law (he's an IT Architect) he felt that the issue was with (user NAME) so he created (user NAME NEW) and got everything back to where it was. However, I noticed that I had to reinstall the Lut file but when I went to install them through: C:\Users\NAME NEW\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ that under Adobe, there was no CameraRaw or CameraProfiles to plug the LUT files into. And I am running the latest update of both LR & PS. I'd like to continue learning and reaching out for some guidance.

Hello Rob. Great instructional videos. I have sent via Drop Box an infrared image for calibrating a Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ60 camera. I would be grateful if you could provide with a profile for this camera. Thanks
Invert refers to the Invert adjustment layer in Photoshop. This adjustment layer will invert every pixel in the image, much like a color negative. When a Hue or Color blend mode is applied to this adjustment layer, the result is a swapping of colors and a true-blue sky. You can create a LUT with this adjustment layer. When combining that LUT with a custom profile into an enhanced profile, you can swap colors in Lightroom.
Hi Rob, your tutorial is amazing! I'm saving now so much time keeping all the work on LR CC! Anyway I can't find the "infrared" folder and profiles on the "new" Lightroom.

Hello, I am having trouble finding the link for Adobe DNG Profile Editor. I went to find by myself but the old 2012 version seems corrupted. Please advise and thank you for this great video.
Rob, this is absolutely brilliant. Wish I had seen this video three years ago when I got my first camera conversion. So many round trips to Photoshop and duplicate files could have been saved, haha. Do you have any recommendations on how to process IR JPG files rather than RAW. I accidentally reset my camera recently and have a few JPGs that I can' t process before I realised. They are 590nm so thinking I might just convert to B&W in an attempt to salvage them. Thanks for your excellent resource!
Thank you for your kind words. If your JPG images used a custom white balance in when shooting, then you should be able to process them normally and get pretty good results. If not, it will be challenging to do a good color process. Get the best WB you can. You might try using color grading or curves to cancel out of the excessive reds.
@@robshea unfortunately I didn't set it in camera as I thought I was still shooting RAW. Will see how I get on with this method. Thanks for your advice. Keep up the good work 👍
I just did some experimentation with an un-WB infrared JPEG. In LR, go into the Tone Curve, select the Red channel, create a point in the middle and drag down. Move around until you diminish the red cast and get a good balance. You could also do the same with a Curves adjustment layer in PS. It won't be perfect, but it's not bad.
Rob hi. For a 590nm, u suggest -100, for 720nm, -50. Wld I be correct in assuming that for a665nm, a-25? Thanks, William Ps..... Also, when I try to save my luts profile at the “options” tab, naming it temp-25. And then clicking on “file”/ “export” and then save, it wants to over write my initial “camera profile”(canon t5 665nm). I am very precise in following directions but I believe I missed a step somehow? Your videos are excellent, just what I hv searched for. Best, William
The temp change made in DN Profile Editor is designed to give you enough flexibility with the WB temp control in LR/PS. It doesn't need to be precise. You might try -75 for 665nm, but -100 may work fine as well. When I did my initial testing, I tried -25, -50, -75, and -100. I found that using just -50 and -100 gave me enough latitude with a wide variety of cutoffs, so I just stick to those now. The name in the Options tab defines the name of the profile that will appear in LR/PS. This is different than the file name of the profile, which does not appear in LR/PS. You will need to use a different file name for each profile.
Hi Rob. Congratulations on your video. One question: I'm using photoshop 2020 and it doesn't allow you to create presets importing cube files, like the one you created (channel mixing and inverted). When I go to create a new preset, the window that opens is different from yours, without the fields that allow selecting cube files. Have you come across this? thanks
Be sure to hold down the ALT (windows) or Option (Mac) key when clicking the Create Preset button. That transforms it into a Create Profile button, but it's not labelled very well.
Bit of a weird question & apologies if it's been asked before...When I open the DNG file for my 720nm IR photo straight out of Photoshop and perform the Red/Blue channel swap, the foliage will appear a light orange color. However if I first open the image in Lightroom then bring it over to Photoshop to perform the channel swap, the foliage is a light pink. Any particular reason for this?
It will depend on whether you set a white balance before making the color swap. In CR, you should be setting a white balance before, opening in PS. When moving from LR to PS, the image is converted to a PSD or TIFF and no longer has the raw controls for white balance, so you should also set a white balance first.
Thanks, I will do that. One other thing I use a 720nm filter Cokin all I get is a red shot then after trying Everybody's method I land up with a basic Black and white. Is it that 720 only makes a B+W shot and need to use the others to get similar to what we see on your video.
Mike, I created a temp -100 profile for the D810 using your raw image and then opened in it PS with that profile. The image is mostly monotone, but I do see some color in the moss growing on the fence, not much, but it's there. A 720nm image is not going to be as colorful as a 590nm image, as there is less visible light to work with, the color will be more subtle. In this image, there is just not much organic material to reflect the IR light. Here is a copy of the image where I over-cranked the saturation on just the foliage. www.dropbox.com/s/8vol7htl0hyiyat/Mike%20Harvey%20-%20DSC_1832.png?dl=0 This subject may just work better as a B&W image.
Different in what way? Are you able to set a good WB with just a DCP profile? Here are the written instructions: blog.robsheaphotography.com/2020/06/29/lightroom-lut.html
@@robshea The colors are much more subdued using Camera Raw. I am converting to B&W and using the LUT in Lightroom and then saving the file before converting to B&W gives me more desirable results. Mind you, I'm using the same LUT with both, so that is the mystery.
Here are some troubleshooting tips. They apply whether you created the profiles or ordered them. Try these and let me know if any help. blog.robsheaphotography.com/lightroom-infrared-color-swap-profiles.html#trouble
@@jonah_sais_quoi You can create profiles for JPEG as well, just don't assign them to a camera-specific "Infrared Temp -x" type profile. Assign them to a generic profile like "Adobe Color" when creating them in Camera Raw.
The "DNG Convertor" will convert raw image files to DNG files. The "DNG Profile Editor" is used to create profiles, that's where you will find the WB adjustment.
LUTs are loaded as needed to build enhanced profiles. Since they are not used in the regular workflow of processing images, it doesn't matter where they are located.
@@robshea I wasn't asking because I wanted to know where to put them. It only matters to me because I created several practice LUTs and only the last two show up in Lightroom and I'd like to clean up the others and see why only two show up in LR.
@@kenhochfeld7865 When you create an XMP file from a LUT, the XMP should be located here. Windows: C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles The LUT gets embedded in the XMP, and the original LUT's location doesn't matter.
Most Sigma raw files, whether DNG or X3F file use a raw "container", but they actually contain embedded (JPEG-like) images. This means you cannot create profiles for them in Adobe editors. I would recommend editing these images in Sigma Photo Pro, darktable, RawTherapee, or ON1.
Really struggling to make the LUTs work in LRC. I've created my own in photoshop but unfortunately creating a preset now doesnt include the LUT option, unless I'm missing something? The presets tab is now on my left and not on the right like shown in your video. Any help would be really appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out lol!
Lightroom doesn’t support LUTs directly. They need to be embedded in a profile, not a preset. When you are creating the profile in Camera Raw, ensure that you hold down the alt key while clicking the create preset icon. This will actually open the create profile dialog box instead of the create preset dialog box.
Thanks Rob@@robshea I've now done this and the profiles show in ACR but not in LRC, I'm assuming I need to import them or move folders? Thanks so much for your help.
@@NeilBurnellPhotography LR and ACR use the same folders, so if they appear in one, they should appear in both. Try restarting LR. Then, ensure that you view a raw file from the same camera model as the profiles.
Hi, I have created both a channel mixer and invert profile. They show up and work fine in PS but do not show up in LRc. Can you help me? What am I doing wrong?
The first thing to double check is which directory you are saving them to. An "Adobe" directory should allow them to be seen by all Adobe programs instead of a Lightroom or Photoshop specific profile directory. Which operating system are you using and which directory have you saved them to?
I had the same issue. I found that I had 'store presets with this catalog checked in LR preferences', uncheck this re-start lightroom and the new profiles should appear. You can -recheck it to go back to having presets with the catalog and the profiles wqill still show (and be with the catalog).
hi rob - me again - i followed this tutorial TO THE LETTER - TWICE !- but when i opened up lightroom classic afresh the new luts were not in the profile browser - neither indeed was the 'infrared' new group i saved them under - did i miss a step ?
Mic, here are the written instructions, in case they are easier to follow than the video. blog.robsheaphotography.com/2020/06/29/lightroom-lut.html If you are not seeing them or even the group in LR, then they are probably not in the right directory. Here are the directories that the files need to be placed in. *.dcp files - Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/ - Windows: C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\ *.xmp files - Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/settings/ - Windows: C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\settings\
@@robshea nope - still not happening - the two cube files are sitting on the desktop - this time i saved the luts to the 'profiles' group - when i open LC the only options are the two original -50 and -100 profiles - no sign of the renamed xt4 luts anywhere -vvvv confusing...
@@micwarmington1 The cube files are not required once the xmp files have been created. The Group only impacts how they are organized in LR and Camera Raw under Browse Profiles. Which directory are you saving the xmp files to?
Adobe no longer supports the DNG Profile Editor. I've started the free Infrared Profile Pack to collect and share infrared profiles for every model of camera. Details at 590.red/infrared-profile-pack
I created a channel swap LUT for LR and it works well. I notice though that if I export to PS it reverts back to the colors prior to the swap. Is there a way to fix this. Thanks.
Are you right-clicking on the image and selecting "Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop"? With a raw or DNG, that should open the file in PS with your changes. If you try to open a PSD/TIF that way, it should offer you the option to open a version with the changes from LR or the original without changes, which would drop the LUT and any other changes. Are you using a different export option instead?
@@robshea Thanks for responding. I tried exporting RAW files (DNG and NEF) directly to PS (usually CMD-E) and the profile doesn't keep. Interestingly I created a couple of camera-specific profiles a while ago through the DNG editor to help with white balance and they do through to PS without a problem. I suspect I made a mistake somewhere but not sure where.
@@jslevine1 Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's working properly, when I do the same in LR, the image opens in PS with the LUT and profiles applied. You could try rebuilding the profile. For me, LUT-based profiles work best on images that I want to process quickly in LR w/o a trip to PS. If you are planning on editing an image in PS, it might just be easier to do the color swapping there.
@@robshea Thanks again. I was going through the process again, and I noticed that when I created the profile in ACR there was a check box to include the white-balance profile already attached to the image. I checked that and tried it again and see that it is now working. Agree with doing the swapping in PS is probably best but I was just getting OCD about making it work. Thanks for the help. Just subscribed and have watched a few of your videos already. I really like them.
Thanks for all the great work Rob! I followed your steps and downloaded both the Profile and LUT Packs. However I was stuck at 'Create Enhanced Profile'. I couldn't find 'Channel Mixer.CUBE' and 'Inveret.CUBE' in the download. Is there anything i'm missing?

Hi, I have created both a channel mixer and invert profile. They show up and work fine in PS but do not show up in LRc. Can you help me? What am I doing wrong?
The first thing to double check is which directory you are saving them to. An "Adobe" directory should allow them to be seen by all Adobe programs instead of a Lightroom or Photoshop specific profile directory. Which operating system are you using and which directory have you saved them to?
I had the same issue. I found that I had 'store presets with this catalog checked in LR preferences', uncheck this re-start lightroom and the new profiles should appear. You can -recheck it to go back to having presets with the catalog and the profiles wqill still show (and be with the catalog).
hi rob - me again - i followed this tutorial TO THE LETTER - TWICE !- but when i opened up lightroom classic afresh the new luts were not in the profile browser - neither indeed was the 'infrared' new group i saved them under - did i miss a step ?
Mic, here are the written instructions, in case they are easier to follow than the video. blog.robsheaphotography.com/2020/06/29/lightroom-lut.html
If you are not seeing them or even the group in LR, then they are probably not in the right directory. Here are the directories that the files need to be placed in.
*.dcp files
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles/
- Windows: C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\
*.xmp files
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/settings/
- Windows: C:\Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\settings\
@@robshea nope - still not happening - the two cube files are sitting on the desktop - this time i saved the luts to the 'profiles' group - when i open LC the only options are the two original -50 and -100 profiles - no sign of the renamed xt4 luts anywhere -vvvv confusing...
@@micwarmington1 The cube files are not required once the xmp files have been created. The Group only impacts how they are organized in LR and Camera Raw under Browse Profiles. Which directory are you saving the xmp files to?
@@robshea that's just it - i cant find the xmp files anywhere
this is giving me sleepless nights !
i cant fidn a download for the dng editor and the links arent working?
Adobe no longer supports the DNG Profile Editor. I've started the free Infrared Profile Pack to collect and share infrared profiles for every model of camera. Details at 590.red/infrared-profile-pack
@@robshea great thank you sorry on a different account (on my phone)
@@robshea also your video have helped me alot can't stop watching them to drill it into my head
I created a channel swap LUT for LR and it works well. I notice though that if I export to PS it reverts back to the colors prior to the swap. Is there a way to fix this. Thanks.
Are you right-clicking on the image and selecting "Edit In > Edit in Adobe Photoshop"? With a raw or DNG, that should open the file in PS with your changes. If you try to open a PSD/TIF that way, it should offer you the option to open a version with the changes from LR or the original without changes, which would drop the LUT and any other changes. Are you using a different export option instead?
@@robshea Thanks for responding. I tried exporting RAW files (DNG and NEF) directly to PS (usually CMD-E) and the profile doesn't keep. Interestingly I created a couple of camera-specific profiles a while ago through the DNG editor to help with white balance and they do through to PS without a problem. I suspect I made a mistake somewhere but not sure where.
@@jslevine1 Yeah, it doesn't sound like it's working properly, when I do the same in LR, the image opens in PS with the LUT and profiles applied. You could try rebuilding the profile. For me, LUT-based profiles work best on images that I want to process quickly in LR w/o a trip to PS. If you are planning on editing an image in PS, it might just be easier to do the color swapping there.
@@robshea Thanks again. I was going through the process again, and I noticed that when I created the profile in ACR there was a check box to include the white-balance profile already attached to the image. I checked that and tried it again and see that it is now working. Agree with doing the swapping in PS is probably best but I was just getting OCD about making it work. Thanks for the help. Just subscribed and have watched a few of your videos already. I really like them.
@@jslevine1 Excellent! I know the feeling. I'm glad you worked it out!
Thanks for all the great work Rob! I followed your steps and downloaded both the Profile and LUT Packs. However I was stuck at 'Create Enhanced Profile'. I couldn't find 'Channel Mixer.CUBE' and 'Inveret.CUBE' in the download. Is there anything i'm missing?
In the Infrared LUT Pack v2, the Channel Mixer LUT is named "IR RB Swap.cube" (red blue swap) and the Invert LUT is named "IR Invert.cube".
@@robshea I see! Thank you so much Rob.
