Thank you Tina for that info.... I was waiting to get LR2 and check it out
before scanning more negs, but now I can go ahead.  I am using TIFF files as
the scanned output.

You refer to DNG files.... my NikonScan 4.0  deos not have DNG  output file.
Is there something I am missing?  ( Or are you referring to using Silverfast
or Vuescan to get that file output ability?)

Lightroom won't recognize the NEF files that you get from the Nikon 
scanner.  Those are not really camera RAW files but a priority RAW 
file just for the scanner.  You can get RAW files from the Nikon 
scanner by using either Vuescan or Silverfast software.  Otherwise, 
you can import the scanner files into Lightroom as DNG files and use 
that as your RAW.  That is probably your best option since DNG files 
are smaller and lossless.

Good luck.

Tina
