Check out <http://share.studio.adobe.com/> and do a search on "night vision".

Firstly, Infrared and Night nision are totally different things.

Secondly, for night vision in studio.adobe.com only action is available for download not any tutorial.

You could probably do a good fake by using a combination of hue & saturation and invert and maybe a few other adjustments. The only way I know of to actually take an infrared photo is with infrared film which has a sensitivity to that part of the spectrum. And, as you indicate, I guess there is an infrared filter.

I coulda sworn Mathias V (a regular here) had an action to do infrared, but I can’t find the link on his site.

Mat, am I remembering correctly? Is the action still around?

The JPG works for me…
AT PsT, (free registration is required, indeed), Rick Miller uses either the channel mixer or curves adjustment layer set to overlay mode to get eerie results.

wait, I re-read the thread.. he’s shooting with an infrared filter on his digicam…

I suggest to google "photoshop infrared" or "digital infrared" to get some tips and techniques.
like an action here: <http://www.outdooreyes.com/photo95.php3> that you can run and study…

Or the sample chapter 13 form photoshop for photographers by MArtin Evening has a tutorial to fake infrared B&W photos: <http://www.photoshopforphotographers.com/sample.htm>

I’m assuming the file is RGB, and you want the black & white effect of dark skies and light vegetation?

Not true infra-red, but splitting off the red channel to grayscale (i.e. discarding the red & blue channels) and adjusting curves on the result can get close.

By coincidence I discovered the IR senstivity of my digital camera. when I observe the LCD screen and point a remote control in the lens, I clearly see the IR led burn a bright white.

Dave,

Got a lot of actions lying around.. I did make a ‘fake IR’ action a while back, but have no track of it right now.

It is probably just a tiny bit more brilliant than the other ones on the net, anyway 😉
