Photoshop cs3 plugins

[dgoakill]

Not sure if this is the right forum, but anyway. way back in the day I had a nikon cool pics and it shipped with a bunch of photoshop filters. most of them were only demos and the few that weren't sucked. however, i was wondering if canon offered anything in the way of free plugins. I'm specifically interested in an IR Filter, but any set of Photo filters would be nice.

thanks in advance

Photoshop has standard filters built in - warming, cooling, red, green, blue, etc. IR filtering is typically done with a piece of coated glass.

What are you trying to achieve?

IR is normally done with IR Film and Filters. But shooting digital, no IR film. So I was wondering what the equivalent would be. I have a glass IR filter, just makes the image tinted red. Shoot in black & white and it just adds more contrast like a red filter in B&W print making with film.

I used to have an IR filter plugin for photoshop 5 that gave the IR effect. Was wondering if there was a new one for CS3 or maybe something available from Canon.

If you get "adobe cs3 for digital photographers" by Scott Kelby he shows a way to get an IR effect.

Sweet thanks! I'll check it out. If anyone else has any suggestions or doesn't know what I'm talking about this site has some good examples and a "do it yourself" method for hacking your cameras. although it looks painful and easy to screw up.

Not free but my favourite plugin is Digital Film Tools 55mm.
