For scanned negatives I think you will like PhotoKit Sharpener, a Photoshop plugin. It has modes for capture sharpening, creative sharpening (sharpening brushes) and output sharpening (for press, inkjet or the web). The sharpening is placed on Photoshop layers so you can adjust to taste. You do have to be in RGB mode, but I see that is how you have scanned anyway. www.pixelgenius.com.
