Module 2
Intro to the Infrared Raw Workflow
Here we are going to show you some groundbreaking ideas for infrared post-production.

We will share all of our secrets to get you set up with an impeccable RAW workflow with your infrared images!

Questions
Is this a monthly or yearly subscription?
Nope! There is no subscription required to watch any of the material after you purchase it.
Once you purchase it is yours. You have access to all of the videos and can watch them at your leisure offline.
Do I have to pay for updates?
Not exactly. Let us explain.
All dot releases will be free of charge to update and we will notify you when that happens. A dot release is anything that stays within the same generation of the panel but has slight modifications. For example, 1.1 to 1.2 would be free of charge, but 1.2 to version 2.0 may have an upgrade charge.
Is this an upgrade to any of Blake's past panels? i.e. Palette Effects, Zone System Express, etc.
No, the CLiR panel and education are entirely new and not considered an upgrade to any of Blake’s previous panels or educational materials.
What Versions of Photoshop will the CLiR Panel work in.
Unfortunately, the CLiR Panel will not work with Elements. Some of the training in the tutorial package may apply, but the Panel will only work in Photoshop CC.
The CLiR Panel will only work on the following platforms:
- Photoshop CC (2014 and up) The CLiR Panel WILL NOT work in the following programs.
- Photoshop Elements
- Lightroom
- Versions of Photoshop CS6 and Below The panel is in ENGLISH but is fully functional in all languages of Photoshop
Can The CLiR Panel be used with other Plug-Ins? (i.e. ON1)
While it will not work directly in the plug-in, because it is only for Photoshop CC you may use your favorite plug-in either before or after. It really depends on where you use your third-party plugins in your workflow.
Why The CLiR Panel?
There really is nothing else out there for Infrared post-production. The CLiR Panel and Workflow we have created are unique and finally give infrared photographers a clear path to infrared masterpieces. The IR Workflow is very convoluted without the CLiR information we are providing.
