I have a digital SLR camera and a regular 6 megapixel point and shoot, and I would like to take infrared pics.

How do I go about doing this with digital cameras? I have a regular film camera (Pentax k1000), But I would really like to avoid the hassle of processing infrared film. I also would rather not send out my SLR camera and have it altered to an infrared camera because it is the only one I use. Is there any (gasp) photo editing software that can change your photos to infrared?

Most digital cameras reach a little bit into the infrared spectrum, but not anywhere near to make for spectacular IR photography. To see if your camera works in this range, have someone point a TV remote at your camera while holding down a button. If your camera has any IR sensitiviy, you will see a bright dot in the picture.
Now comes the expensive part: for about $150, you can get an IR filter--necessary because normal light overwhelms IR light. After finding a way to attach it to your P&S camera, you should be able to take IR time-lapse photos.
The results are really disappointing, because the camera has a very limited bandwidth in this range... sort of like taking pictures with a camera where only the red pixels are working.

Is it possible to use my Pentax K-mount lenses from my film camera with the new Pentax digital SLR?

or any other digital SLR?

with the AF lenses or the manual 'A' series (green 'A' on aperture collar of lens) you are full featured (except for AF on the manual lenses). If your lens is not an A series then you still have stop down metering. With a <$20 adapter you can even use M42 (S eries)/screw mount lenses with stop sown metering
