Default A different method for false colour

The atteached pic was processed in a different manner from the norm and results can vary greatly for different manufacturers.

For this image I used my normal "custom white balance" i.e. photographing grass.

The following is my work flow for this image.

Auto Levels.
Create new layer.
Invert colour.
Blend mode colour.
Adjust Hue/Sat to give a suitable colouring. Next on this image selected the resulting pinkish foilage, moved the Hue slider over to the blue range, effectively changing the pinkish hue to green. This gave me unwanted greenery in the foreground which was a little patchy, so use the desaturation brush to remove the colouring from the foreground.

I then used a filter that I particulally like for old buildings, this being "Poster Edges" with the following settings 4-1-4. This totally ruins the image so then I go to "Edit>>Fade" usually with a soft light blend mode.

Smart Sharpen.
