You have seen many movies with characters using night vision goggles.
The pics catch our eye, as they caught mine. So here's a tutorial on How to make NightVision pics in PhotoShop

And lemme remind you, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECTION... (AND NO ONES PERFECT ;))

Simpler Night Vision

Night Vision effect can be got in a simpler way.
There is a free plug-in called VDL Adrenaline Night Vision plugin
Get it here(http) or here(ftp).

I made this using the plugin:

There are also many options & tweeks with which u can manuplate the way the image looks after night vision has been applied.

uncheck "Raster intens" to remove the lines....there are plenty of other tweeks also. :!:

Thermal vision effect!

Ok,here's how I did it....quite simple

1.Open the image in Photoshop
3.Go to Image->Adjustments->Gradient Map
4.Click on the "Gradiant Used for Gryscale Maping" dropdown list & select "Transparant rainbow".

hey dude... bharat_r... it's not that easy to get a thermal image!!!

Just by adding fancy RBGs to the picture, u don't get a thermal image... go to the basics... the warmer parts of the pic have to be redder & the colder parts bluish... ;) Not as simple as NIGHT VISION... dude...

The plugin u showed does work wonders.. but this tutorial is just to bring in another concept into Photoshop idealogy....

Btw... ur gradient map method was good.. though not realistic!!! It's against the laws of physics... for god's sake!!!

does this look more realistic.

His coat,hair,etc trap more heat & hence radiate more heat than his body,so they are red.

We can easily imitate or emulate almost real looking infrared images through gradient tool... But a real Infrared Image is very different looking and one can easily spot the difference....

We have to do selective editing.... Coz the hair don't have heat radiations..
Touch your body :wink: And check out which area are hot and which areas are cold...

It's almost like B/W to Colour conversion....
