IR dust removal with scanlight RGB scans?

[lamosadosa]

I have Jacks Big scanlight that can do IR as well. How do I get that working in the Camera Scanning Module ?

The scanlight has it but you would need a camera that captures IR too. That usually involves getting one converted then using an IR filter. or getting one that does IR-only but then you need two cameras.

If it got included it would be cool to have a way to use the IR photo not just in the camera scanning workflow (e.g. for those of use that cannot do tethered scanning). I already appreciate this for RGB scans

ir photo can already be used for IR dust removal, it needs to be named same as the main file but with _IR suffix. It think it might work also with triplets if the IR photo is named same as red photo but with _IR at the end, if it doesn't then it should be small fix.

_IR sidecar files from scanners (eg Nikon Coolscan outputs main file + _IR.tiff) work fine

That's dead easy! I might see if I can get my camera converted some day

It should also be noted @lamosadosa that IR dust removal doesn't work on most B&W film
