I just thought I'd mention a book I just got that has the best 
chapter I've found yet on scanning with the Nikon LS5000.  It's 
"Black and White Photography Techniques" by Maurice Hamilton, Amherst 
Media press.  In spite of the title, he does give very specific 
advice for scanning color film, too.  He gives very good, detailed 
instructions on how to get the most out of the scanner. The problem 
with finding great information like this is that I usually decide I 
need to go back and scan everything all over again :-(  I'll never finish!!
