Moo,

I would suggest leaving the image in color on your camera and changing to black and white in post processing. When I set the camera to black and white while taking IR pictures I get something that looks like a simple greyscale version of my subject. I don't get the Woods effect at all. I get a black and white image, but it isn't really an IR image. I think this is because even though I'm filtering out most of the visible light, some still gets through and affects the end result prominently. In post processing, I can pull the IR effect out of the image, but I think it is lost in the mix when I have the camera do the black and white conversion.

Take care, and thanks for adding to my thread.
