Vuescan has settings for contrast indices of various black and white films,
not color masks. These settings may be used to adjust the exposure for
scanners that support this.
Kodak's High Speed Infrared film is probably the most commonly used
infrared film. If you are familiar at all with infrared films, you should
certainly have heard of this one, although you may not be familiar with it
under its three-letter code name (HIE). It is a silver-based film.
Vuescan has settings for the following black and white films:
KODAK T-MAX 100 Professional
KODAK T-MAX 3200 Professional
KODAK T-MAX 400 Professional
KODAK T-MAX T400 CN
KODAK TMAX-100 D-76 CI = .40 (D-76 Developer Contrast Index = .40)
KODAK TMAX-100 D-76 CI = .50 (D-76 Developer Contrast Index = .50)
KODAK TMAX-100 D-76 CI = .55 (D-76 Developer Contrast Index = .55)
KODAK TMAX-100 D-76 CI = .70 (D-76 Developer Contrast Index = .70)
KODAK TMAX-100 D-76 CI = .80 (D-76 Developer Contrast Index = .80)
KODAK TMAX-100 TMAX CI = .40 (TMAX Developer Contrast Index = .40)
KODAK TMAX-100 TMAX CI = .50 (TMAX Developer Contrast Index = .50)
KODAK TMAX-100 TMAX CI = .55 (TMAX Developer Contrast Index = .55)
