About
ARK IR-01 turns ordinary photos into infrared photographs — the way they would look shot on IR film through a real filter.
It is not a color preset. The engine reads every pixel for the physical evidence infrared responds to — chlorophyll, sky light, tungsten heat — and rebuilds the image the way film would record it. Foliage glows. Skies go black. Nothing is painted on.
THREE FILMS
BW — black & white infrared, 590-850 nm. The look of Kodak HIE: glowing foliage, dark skies, halation bleeding around highlights. The dial sets the filter wavelength.
AERO — Kodak Aerochrome false color. Vegetation turns red, everything else keeps its neutral tone. The dial moves through the Wratten filter series (#12 to #25), exactly the axis practitioners used on the real film.
NIGHT — infrared at night. Tungsten lights blaze, foliage burns red against a black sky. The dial sets how deep into red the film goes. The engine adapts to each photo's white balance automatically.
INSTRUMENT, NOT APP
One aluminum deck. A tuning ruler, an exposure dial, one red key. Live rendering while you drag. Tap the nameplate to read what infrared light actually is — with Herschel's 1800 experiment you can run with your finger.
