yeah, the software has to subtract the orange mask and invert
the colors. while the latter can also be done in gimp (?) the
former is just not implemented I guess. Each brand has a different
orange mask and in the scancraft software from canon you can
choose the type of film directly or the automatic option.

so far,
Frank
