Maybe not. But it's not a great leap of faith to assume that there's a fairly strong correlation between the hues a 'typical' scene produces in an image and the way that scene would affect a hypothetical additional IR sensor. A processor that is capable of tracking 100 AF points in real time and doing face recognition as well isn't likely to have much difficulty doing some kind of prediction of what a fourth sensor might see, then 'rendering' that into something that has the same kind of look as a real IR camera might produce. Just getting concrete, brick, steel, and sky looking right would serve for a lot of 'IR'-ish images. It's not a true rendition, but it may well be at least as close to reality as a whole lot of image renditions that are created in the darkroom. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
