Here's a Photoshop based tutorial:

I've done something similar using a combination of Photoshop and several Topaz filters.

I just did this on the fly using Photoshop and Topaz Lab's BW Effects

For me the enjoyment of IR photography is doing it in camera with a converted camera.

Just be careful posting them on IR photography websites. Many don't allow faux IR.

...it's a black hole of sorts, seems like an endless learning curve, but when you come out the other side there's a lot of satisfaction from the process. Why not just *do* it? You'll get "similar" results from this or that program, but when you're dedicating a body to shooting IR, you're IN. I could mess around for an interminable amount of time and not get the purity of this first shot (forgive the ugly guy in the doorway...heh) and, then, another using a different wave length (nm)...

Julian, there are processes that try to emulate IR. However, nothing comes close to actually photographing in IR.

I have been doing the same thing

Even the bad stuff looks stunning sometimes

Can you share some details about this building? TIA

Where was that picture taken? The building is something else!

Trying to get IR from a visual shot is like trying to extrapolate the blue channel from red channel data.
Results MIGHT look reasonable if the subject is very similar to those used in training the software. Most such efforts just assume green means bright.
Foliage will usually reflect loads of IR, but I've also photographed green objects that come out Black in IR.

In portraiture IR sees under the top layers of skin, which can hide blemishes but also shows tattoos much clearer (apparently even after they've been removed).

I think that's why an infrared filter is in my future!...Julian

Just do not confuse simulation for real IR. For instance, do not use a simulation to determine if you have air leaks around your windows.
