Same subject, with and without it

Each pair is the same sentence on the same model. The left frame has no style; the right one is Infrared Dream. That gap is what the style adds.

About Infrared Dream

Infrared Dream turns your scene into a false-color infrared photograph: trees and grass glow candy pink and white, skies deepen to teal, and a soft luminous haze settles over everything. It borrows the look of infrared film and converted cameras, which see light the eye cannot, and the result is familiar and alien at the same time — a summer afternoon from another planet.

You write the subject; the style supplies the infrared. Anywhere with plants is magical: a lighthouse above pink grass, a country road lined with white trees, a cat in a garden of glowing leaves. People fit in beautifully too: someone walking through a meadow, a man in a coat on a tree-lined street. The style keeps the outfit and details you wrote and recolors the world around them.

Use it for album covers and music artwork, fashion and editorial concepts, travel and landscape prints, dreamy wallpapers and eye-catching social posts. For blue sun prints, use Cyanotype Print; for two images blended into one, Double Exposure Dusk; for mist and soft light, Fog Bound.

For this composition, we recommend 4:3, with 3:4 as another framing option. It also works on an uploaded image: in image-to-image mode it regrades your photo as false-color infrared and keeps the composition, pose and clothing unchanged. Outdoor photos with lots of greenery transform the most.

Subjects to paste as they are: “a country road lined with tall trees in summer”, “a white lighthouse above a grassy cliff”, “a man in a linen suit walking through a meadow”. The more foliage in the frame, the stronger the effect.

Finishes that work on top: Film Grain for real infrared film texture, Soft Bloom for an even dreamier glow.

Tips that make it land

  • Put plants in the frame. Leaves and grass are what glow pink and white in infrared.
  • Sunny scenes work best: infrared film loves bright daylight.
  • Water and sky turn deep teal, so lakes, rivers and open skies add contrast.
  • Indoor scenes have little foliage and change the least. Take it outside.
  • For uploads, green outdoor photos give the most dramatic transformation.
