There has been mention on this forum of the nik color efex pro 2 filter set. The attached photo shows the original in the top left hand corner plus the five infra red effects available with this filter set. I have used the preset controls for each effect and no further PP.

I've had this software under "evaluation" for quite a while using the PS version. I found I was using it so much that I just ordered the new version (select edition with 45 filters) that works inside Nikon Capture.

Easy to use, and quite powerful. I think your samples show this quite well.

Edit:
To see the list of the filters in each version go here
The NC version is only available from the US via either Nikon Mall or Adorama. This version is cheaper than the PS version, but lacks the ability to paint on the filter.

Full details on the package are here

Peter - I find the graduated and polarizer filters to be extremely handy plus there are some really far out effects as well.

I have also been using the Andromeda perspective filter for my work - just had to put a logo on a photo and got it right with this filter as PS edit features just could not get it right.

I've not looked at the Andromeda filters. From their web site there seem to be quite a few. I'll check them out.

Cheers
