Yep, I found this to be the case as well. I even started to think about getting
a second machine! And was planning on using it only for the web and work prints.
Well, I still am, whenever I can get to it :-). But I'm still at the bottom of
the learning curve; I got my film scanner just a month ago. Which brings me to a
question: what is a good/standard workflow in PS after the image is scanned?
From what I found so far, one should not use 'contrast/brightness' and 'sharpen'
adjustments, but 'level/curves' and 'unsharp mask'. So in which order do you do
this?

Thanks, and if it seems too OT, please reply privately.
