If you make changes in the scanner software they're there forever; if you
just scan a RAW image to file and save that to work with in some other
software you've always got the whole enchilada to work with if and when you
decide your first editing decisions weren't so hot.
My advice is to keep your master scan (usually a very large TIFF in my
case) sacrosanct and always work off a _copy_ of that. (Of course, you
either need lots of HD space, or figure a back-up routine to store your
images someplace else.)

According to different sources I've read that one should, a) just scan
the negative with no correction and do post processing in an image
editor or, b) correct major faults like over/under exposure, color,
crop, level horizon with the scanner software and fine tune with the
image editor. Is this a personal preference thing or is there a
technical reason why one way is better than another? Also, should i just
scan to a tif or directly into an image editor? Or does it matter, e.g.
hardware or software dependent? As you can see below I'm not out there
riding the crest of the wave so to speak. More like the guy with the
wheelbarrow at the end of the parade :>) The parade being ebay and
garage sales.
