RE: filmscanners: Vuescan and Kodak Infrared HIE B&W colormask ?

I do not use Vuescan; but why would an infrared BLACK & WHITE film have a
color mask or need a special setting to remove one?  I am unfamiliar with
the film that you are referring to although I do have some familiarity with
infrared B&W film in general.

Unless this Infrared B&W film is a chromogenic dye based black and white
film as opposed to a silver halide based film, I do not see why it would
need or have a color mask; if this is indeed the case, then you would not
find it listed as a special setting under films and would use settings
appropriate to all black and white silver halide negative films.

Hello.

I just scanned a black and white infrared negative Kodak HIE with
Vuescan, and I didn't find this film on Vuescan's films mask list.

Does anybody know which settings should I apply, or which mask film
from those available in Vuescan does approach this film's settings ?

Thanks.
