How to create false colour IR?

[vortex]

Anyone know the steps?

i know it involves having a colour shot + ir shot..then combining it in PS.
i cant seem to get it right.

Have you got an example?

It might be workable using layers and masking in PS.

i honestly dont get what it means by

Quote: The red channel of the IR image was placed into the red channel, the red channel of the color image was placed into the green channel and the green channel of the color image was placed into the blue channel. Cloud motion between the exposures caused the various cloud colors.

Take 2 shots
(a) IR, desaturate into b/w
(b) Normal colour shot

In PS, there is a "channels" folder. Under this folder your colour shot is split into R, G and B. This is where you "swap" the colour channels.
Then from your IR pic, select all and copy, switch back to the colour shot and select the red channel to paste into it.
