Recently picked up an old converted Canon D60, 730nm. Couldn't be happier! Awesome photos in this thread

Just got the Sony A6000 back from Lightpixel super blue conversion.

Didnt have a lot of time to play with it this weekend. I am a bit challenged in that it seems that things I think should be sharp end up not being. I am not sure that is not operator error, something to do with the IR spectrum, or the filter adjustment.

In any case here are a few attempts

I'm new to this IR stuff and recently picked up an older Powershot that was converted, off Ebay. I didn't want to invest much until I knew if I'd like it or not. I have enjoyed playing with it but was wondering how some of you are able to attain more than just 2 colors in your shots. Is it all about the processing or does the conversion make the difference?

The filter you choose for the conversion definitely makes a difference. An 850nm conversion will basically only allow you to shoot monochrome images. A 720nm conversion will give you some capability to do false color processing, but the colors may end up being quite muted. A 665nm conversion gives you a fair deal of latitude for false color processing...this is the filter I went with for my conversion, as you can always add a 720nm, 760nm, or 850nm filter to the front of your lens to get the other effects. There's also a 590nm filter that gives you a LOT of color information, but from what I've seen of the images shot with that filter, the infrared effect gets muted, as the ratio of IR to visible light is much more balanced. If I had to guess as to what conversion your G6 had done, I'd say it looks like a 720nm conversion.

As for the processing, that's where most of the magic happens. I've got a custom LR presets that handle getting the white balance in the neighborhood of where I usually want to start with processing. It's been so long that I can't remember how I created it, but the basic temp/tint sliders in LR aren't enough to process an IR raw file, so I think I had to create a custom profile in ACR or something like that.

If I do a channel swap to get the blue sky effect, I'll usually do another white balance against the foliage after the channel swap, unless I'm going for a specific color effect with the foliage. Either way, once you get the white balance in the ballpark, start playing with the sliders in the HSL panel. That's how I turned the foliage to pink in this shot:
