Thanks Alan and Dave. This was a major update to Lightroom that included super resolution (they call it enhancement) that uses artificial intelligence to boost the resolution of the image. For example, a K1 file boosts to 144mp with no apparent quality loss via artifacting, and a raft of presets, a couple of dozen or so. The enhancement was included in camera Raw last month for Photoshop, and found its way into Lightroom on this month's update. I suspect to get the look of old school craptastic B&W infrared film one could run a couple of presets. I suspect there is one that can add stupid amounts of pseudo grain to an image. I think with the IR emulation, people forget that infrared response is as predictable as the response for visible light. Converting a camera to IR is not likely going to give a significantly different look than using a computer to emulate the spectral response. It just ruins a perfectly good camera for any other purpose.
I do miss Ektachrome Infrared. I had a lot of fun with that stuff. bill On Sat., Jun. 19, 2021, 9:29 a.m. Alan C, <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks pretty good to me.
