Analog Cafe's step by step guides to scanning, inverting, and printing, my film has provided me the simple answers to help fix my work flow! Unfortunately, I did not discover it until 2am, but better late (or early in the morning) than never!
You're welcome and thanks again. One quick question, when you make a DNG from slide film, since it's already a positive, you do not invert it to start do you? In other words, when scanning a slide with Silverfast you do not set it to "negative" and then scan it, get a negative DNG and then invert it again in Photoshop, do you?
When I scanned slide film with Silverfast, I typically chose one of its options for film type. If I remember it correctly, it was something like "slide" or "positive."
Thanks Dimitri, it is the "Positive" setting. Finally on color scans do you always return the gamma setting to 2.20 in Photoshop when "processing" the DNG, since Raw scans produce a gamma of 1.00.
