It's modified E-330. The filter used is a RG715 so it's a deeper IR than the
more popular R72. The color is weird out of the camera, but usually in LR, I
just changed the color temperature to 2000 (on the web, some people say IR
photo should be set to 1800 temperature, but no program allows you to do
that) and  adjust the tint. I usually go for -60 to -100 on the tint using
LR.

That's about it for the color change. So from the first one which looks
green to most people, to this final version which looks creamy, is just
sliding the tint bar. Some times I do use the split toning sliders but they
have little effect most of the time.

Did I say I love LR :-)?
