This is a very good challenge!!  I hope someone comes up with something.

I spoke with a few artist at work who are familar with converting an old camera to IR  and a few have played with making an IR type photo, and there is just no way to get the exact same effect :(  You can get close with lots of filtering and editing, but it will never be as sharp :(let

but...don't let that stop anyonetrue white  from continuing to try!  It's pretty fun and annoying at the same time LOL

Exactly what I have said (sorta)
The best method is either having it converted or getting a filter
