Thanks, Tina for the praise.
By the time you read this, you should've gotten my previous post on the 
scanning. 

But, if it helps, I use the sliders in Bridge RAW to optimize the Tiffs, 
then open in PS5 and spot the (thankfully few) dust specks, maybe tweak some 
more then save as a replacement Tiff.  Some slides needed more treatment.  
On the Isle of Man rockers, I darkened the leather of the jackets with the 
burn tool because when the faces looked good, the leather was just very dark 
gray, and some banding showed.  I suppose using layers might make things 
easier, but I never really learned how to do them.
