Here’s my digital twist on getting an infrared look from regular photos taken with your digital camera. The first few steps give you the standard infrared look (which makes it kinda look like you popped a Hoya R72 infrared filter on your lens), and the last steps let you bleed some color in for some really interesting looks.

Step One
Open the RGB photo you want to apply an infrared effect to in Photoshop. Go to the Layers palette and choose Channel Mixer from the Create New Adjustment Layer pop-up menu (it’s the half-black/half-white circle icon) at the bottom of the palette
Step Two
When the Channel Mixer dialog appears, turn on the Monochrome checkbox at the bottom of the dialog. Then, set the Red channel to -50% (you can just type it in the field or move the slider to the left until it reads -50%); set the Green channel to +200%; and set the Blue channel to -50%.
Step Three
When you click OK, the black-and-white infrared effect is applied to your image. If you want to keep your photo in black and white, then you’re done. If you want to add some muted color (which is a very popular technique these days), then go on to the next step.
Step Four
Go to the Layers palette and drag-and-drop the Background layer onto the Create a New Layer icon to duplicate it. Then, drag this Background copy layer above the Channel Mixer layer at the top of the layer stack. Now, make two changes: (1) Change the layer blend mode from Normal to Overlay, and (2) lower the Opacity to 50%. You’re not done yet.
Step Five
In the Layers palette, click on the center layer (the Channel Mixer adjustment layer) and lower the Opacity to bring back more of the original color. In the example shown here, I only had to lower the Opacity by 10% to bring the color roaring back in.
Step Six
Once you lower the Opacity on that Channel Mixer adjustment layer, you’ve got the final effect. Now that you know how to do this technique, want to try a little deviation from it, for a totally cool color effect? Good (I knew you’d be up for it). Start by dragging the Background copy layer and the Channel Mixer layer to the Trash icon at the bottom of the Layers palette to get back to your original, untouched Background layer.
Step Seven
Now, choose Channel Mixer again from the Create New Adjustment Layer pop-up menu. You’re going to enter the same settings (-50%, +200%, -50%), but this time don’t turn on the Monochromatic checkbox, and you’ll get the way-cool effect you see here. It’s not infrared, but it doesn’t have to beit’s just a totally cool color effect. Give it a shot and see what you think.

The spectral sensitivity of a photographic film emulsion will extend slightly beyond
that of the human visual spectrum. This can sometimes cause problems in color
photography when an object radiates light we cannot see, but the film does. This
phenomenon, known as metamerism, can affect the way the colors of specific garments
can appear the wrong color on the final film. There is also a special infrared
sensitive film emulsion you can buy, which is acutely sensitive to infrared radiation.
The black and white emulsion is quite grainy. Vegetation reflects a lot of infrared
light which we human observers are not aware of. Hence, green foliage will appear
very bright and almost iridescent when captured on infrared film.

1. This spring woodland scene is a prime candidate with which to demonstrate the following infrared technique. As you can see, there are a lot of fresh green leaves in the picture. What follows is an extensionof the color to monochrome technique using the Channel Mixer.
2. Essentially, what I am attempting to do here is to take this Channel Mixer technique to extremes.Now if we want the green channel to appear the lightest, because that’s where all the green foliage information is, then we have got to somehow boost the green channel mix. The maximum setting allowed is 200% which produces a burnt-out ‘screened’ result. Bearing in mind the ‘keep everything adding up close to 100%’ rule, I reduced the other two channel percentages, to give them minus values. There was a little cyancoloring in the green, so I reduced the red channel by only 30% and the blue channel was therefore set to minus 70%.
3. So far so good. Now I want to add some glow to the foliage. It is important that the underlying image has remained in RGB (because it is the adjustment layer which is making the monochrome conversion). I went to the Channels palette and highlighted the green channel and applied a Gaussian blur filtration to that channel only. The result of the full blur is shown opposite. This isn’t the desired result, so I followed that with an Edit > Fade Filter command, reducing the blur to a 26% opacity and Screen blend mode.
4. This is the final result after applying the Channel Mixer adjustment and green channel blur on the ackground layer. To further simulate the infrared emulsion, try adding a hefty amount of Gaussian noise filtration to either all three color channels or the green channel only.

With the Picture Package command, you can place multiple copies of a source image on a single page, similar to the photo packages traditionally sold by portrait studios. You also have the option of placing different images on the same page. You can choose from a variety of size and placement options to customize your package layout.
Clicking a placeholder in the Picture Package preview layout lets you browse to select an image.
Drag an image from the desktop or a folder into a placeholder.

Dragging an image from the desktop into a placeholder to add an image in the Picture Package
You can change any image the layout by clicking a placeholder and browsing to select an image.
In the Document area of the Picture Package dialog box, select page size, layout, resolution, and color mode. A thumbnail of the chosen layout is displayed on the right side of the dialog box.
You can also create your own custom layouts. For more information.
Select Flatten All Layers to create a picture package with all images and label text on a single layer. Deselect Flatten All Layers to create a picture package where each image is on a separate layer and each label is on a separate text layer. Placing each image and label on a separate layer lets you update your picture package even after it’s been saved. Keep in mind that not flattening layers increases the file size of your picture package.
In the Label area, choose the source for label text from the Content menu or choose None. If you choose Custom Text, enter the text for the label in the Custom Text field.
Specify font, font size, color, opacity, position, and rotation for the labels.
Click OK.

Lis bellow is standar of photography size if you printing your Photo at Photo Station:

Ukuran diatas adalah ukuran umum yang dipakai distudio cetak foto, sekarang berkaitan resolusi image (foto) yang akan dicetak, bisa dilihat di Photoshop: klik [image]>[Image Size] lihat dibagian resolution:

Contoh Image Size diatas adalah untuk ukuran foto 4R, dengan besar Resolusi 300 dpi. Jadi format foto yang akan dicetak ke studio cetak foto adalah ukuran 4R. Sebaiknya gunakan format JPEG dengan mode RGB color. Besar Resolusi 300 dpi adalah yang paling ideal untuk setiap ukuran cetak, tetapi tidak harus sebesar itu, 150 dpi pun menghasilkan hasil cetak yang bagus.

Saat ini sudah ada jasa cetak foto via internet dengan mengupload file foto keserver tertentu. Tetapi berkaitan ukuran data vs kecepatan koneksi internet, maka perlu penyesuaian ukuran data. Berikut adalah tabel yang menunjukkan relasi antara ukuran foto dengan ukuran resolusi:
