Nobody has IR on their camera. You need a IR filter you attach to your lens. Most cameras have IR blocking so that they keep IR light away from the sensor. If your's does not, you will get good IR photographs by using an IR filter, which will block almost all visible light and allow only IR to reach the sensor.
Photoshop can be used to get somewhat close to an IR effect; you can search the forums for that.

Thank you for the lesson. For some reason I thought some cameras had IR on them. Now I know they don't. Thanks again!!
You can test if your camera is IR sensitive by holding a TV remote up to it and pressing a button. Easier on a P&S as you can see if the IR diode in the remote lights up by looking at the LCD. On a dSLR you'll have to take a picture while it is lit. So it might take a few tries.
You can custom fit your camera to be IR as opposed to attaching an SLR lens, though it involves taking your camera apart to perform some major surgery and voids your warranty. A friend of mine has a digital IR.
Edit: Please don't take me to task on this - I don't know enough about how it was accomplished to defend it. But I can say with 100% certainty that there is no separate IR lens attaching to an otherwise normal DSLR.

Though you can then only use it for IR, as it involves swapping the hot mirror (IR & UV blocking filter) on the sensor for an IR (passing) filter. Something you'll only do if you have a spare dSLR that you're not using lying around.
