Everything about it is great! Love the crows in the sky the lines of the landscape, the light in general. I would love to have the original NEF so I could see the original and then see how you have managed to get to the final image.

OK I'll try and dig out the text of the how from the Popular Photography article. Have to make it an image rather than just text. Attachment: False IR Steps.jpg (Downloaded 26 times)

Okay there is more adjustment in that sidecar than I previously thought....confess I didnt look at the Basic sliders. Having worked through the worded steps, I still maintain that the problem is limited, stepped colour adjustment of a continuous tone image. You HAVE to drop the sky tone down to black to hide the banding of colour steps. Its almost posterising! here's halfway.... Attachment: banding.jpg (Downloaded 24 times)

I made the xmp file but I followed the article steps and then did a Save Settings. So any deficiencies are either a mistake I have made or a miss in the article content. It may be that I didnt use the actual value from the article as I was testing it for my image.

I don't think it's the content of your file Jonathan...I just think with this method you blitz all the element colours, irrespective of whether they would respond naturally to IR. But it's the steps that concern me.

OK. One aspect seriously worried me was the conversion to greyscale. This destroys all colour info. I dont lke this as I like to have colour in my IR. I also tried taking the B&W and the original colour image and combining this produced some really false colour IR images that I am still experimenting with. I am sure that the 'kooky' images look very 1970s psychadelic and strange but would cause heart failure for many purists!

I had wondered about the grayscale conversion BEFORE the colour adjustments. You effectively drop to a lot less (128) shades of 'grey' and then try to work on them????? Its the opposite to the established logic for grayscale images ... When you scan a photo, you should always scan in RGB and then convert to grayscale rather than scanning in grayscale from the outset.
