I take Ed's comment, that the goal is a *custom* base removal for that any
particular film, and to make the image "look as much like the original scene
as possible", means making it look like the original as captured by that
particular film, but not making it look like the original as a generic
person would see it. Otherwise, the different mask settings for the
different films would seem to be spurious.
