How does the software determine what is a scratch and what isn't?
The whole point with a chromogenic image is that the image doesn't
appear in the IR channel. You don't have that with a B&W neg.
I don't think there would be any advantage to an IR channel
compared to a "normal" channel in terms of scratches except
that the scratch *may* be a little more obvious. The main
problem is that the scratch might also be a fine line of
image detail...
