Infrared Effects in Photoshop Elements Is it possible to create an infrared effect in Elements? All the tutorials I've found online suggest using a channel mixer, which from my understanding is only available in Photoshop CS2.

Sara, You can mix channels in Elements, you just need to know how to separate them as layers and how to use calculations. You don't say what version of Elements you have, but I have free tools on my site and other tool sets that may help. See: hiddenelements.com Conversions are not 1-to-1 when you don't capture infrared light in the first place. Converted digital cameras can do a good job depending on the model. You'll need a filter as well, and some patience. Purely digital conversions often rely heavily on the red channel and perhaps even invert the blue, but there is often a lot to what shots you are trying it with and what type of IR you are trying to imitate.
