It does have a learning curve, that I don't think I have the time to attack now, maybe next week when the smoke clears. My wife is in the play, so extra time is short around our house right now. I just loaded Nikonscan 3.1 which works within Photoshop, however, it does limit you to an 8 bit environment. I am following the advice on http://www.computer-darkroom.co.uk/ and converting to a 16 bit image before I do work on Photoshop, and that seems to give me a little more umph in handling the levels encountered in low light shooting. I was reading a thread I found about Vuescan, and I hope I can make it work as well for me as others have.
