[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 392207, member: 9240"] I'm guessing you could, but I've never done it. Are you attempting to nail it straight out of camera on a JPEG or are you willing to shoot RAW? IR is amazingly difficult to nail as a JPEG so I wouldn't recommend it. I know little about shooting with an IR filter and have only shot with an IR converted camera, but it should be applicable either way. So with that said, more times than not your WB measurement is going to be [I]very[/I] close to the left side of your WB slider in ACR (around 2000) even when the camera gives you a WB reading. Here's a look at what I get SOOC from my converted D7000 that actually achieves a WB (i.e. slider is at 2000)... [ATTACH=CONFIG]129377._xfImport[/ATTACH] The JPEG preview in camera looks pretty close, but once I get it into ACR the WB is WAY off as seen above. In order for me to [I]really[/I] balance it I needed to create a custom camera profile for infrared based on what I get straight out of camera. Here's how you can do it too... [MEDIA=youtube]VpHo1Fw23to[/MEDIA] This profile gets applied on-import for all my IR images and then I WB adjust in LR using the eye-dropper and slider. My recommendation is to try and find something close with your D90 and then use this methodology to nail it in post. [/QUOTE]
