Good work, Randy!
Randy,
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think what you are saying is that you use a normal digital camera to capture these images, and then use software to make them look like infrared images. Is that correct?
What you are coming up with is interesting and visually pleasing.
In PS there is an IR filter that can be used when you make a conversion from a RGB file to B&W, and there are other ways to somewhat replicate the look of IR by adjusting the other color filters in the B&W conversion. But there is no way to accurately replicate many of the visual characteristics of IR without the use of a converted camera digital camea or shooting film or a digital camera with a filter in the 680nm to 720 nm range.

Wonderful work, everyone. Good to see a lively digital IR forum!
I've been having lots of trouble with my LR and PS software, so I haven't produced much of anything IR.
My presets will randomly disappear in LR, both programs will quit, and every task in LR is followed by a spinning color wheel, effectively de-railing any fine adjustments.
I just went full RAM (32Gb) and upped the HD to an SSD, so the computer fan has no reason to run non-stop in PS or LR.
So here's a photo I made last week, processing was incredibly frustrating thanks to the above problems.
Sony A7r, Tamron 35mm, 720nm.

So far (joke)
I am using normal iPhone images straight and converting in PS CC only
I have never shot any IR either film or Digi
I like the oddness that can be made
Since I have no historical visual IR reference, I am just fooling around
Even more, 'True' IR film is lost to the ages, st least from my cursery discovery
At my tender age of 71, most rules evade my reason
Play ON!
