Vuescan uses the increased blue-green sensor output to 
compensate the mask. This isn't a hardware feature but a 
driver feature. Vuescan also has a variety of color negative 
"profiles" for several types of color film, masks however 
are influenced by the lab development so this isn't as 
precise as with reversal film.
