I am not expert enough to say whether WB is relevant or not but there are multiple videos regarding IR processing( mainly with LR) where it is felt to be relavant and folks have developed workarounds ( DNG editor as example) to deal with issues - at least for color infrared
I am not familiar with a dedicated IR sensor - but like @Joanna I have a glass filter for my (normal) Nikon. You can do some interesting things besides take infrared images - such as with the following images taken on the Summer Solstice (N. Hemisphere) within a few seconds of each other:
• Image taken without the IR filter
• Image with the IR filter
• Composite for a Christmas Card
My friends were quite puzzled since they know I don’t live where it snows like this (if ever).
Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about and WB has everything to do with it. DXO PL is not able to dig into these frequencies and while I am a fan of DXO, Photolab is not very good in my opinion. For hyper-spectral work use Capture One or Picturecode’s Photo Ninja.
