Aerochrome infrared effect, free
Kodak Aerochrome was a false-colour infrared film made for aerial surveys: healthy vegetation reflects infrared strongly, so trees came out magenta and red while skies went deep cyan-blue. Photographers found it and it became a look — the pink-forest picture.

The Aerochrome look does the channel swap that film did: greens become pinks and reds, blues deepen, skin stays close to natural, so a park photo turns into an alien landscape.
How to use it
- Open the tool and drop in a photo with plenty of green — trees, grass, hedges.
- Set Foliage for how far greens go to magenta; Amount mixes the look with the original.
- Adjust Warmth if skin in the frame drifts too far.
- Export.

What was Kodak Aerochrome?
A colour infrared film Kodak made from the 1940s until 2009, originally for aerial vegetation surveys and camouflage detection. Its magenta foliage made it a favourite of photographers before it was discontinued.
Is this real infrared?
No — a real IR photo needs a converted camera. This look reproduces the colour mapping of the film from an ordinary photo.
Is it free?
Yes, no account; nothing leaves your browser.
