Looking for help with optimizing my scans/photoshop

[wildbill]

I'd like to learn about getting the most out of my scanned film (e-6 mostly, some b+w and c41 as well) in the scanning stage and in photoshop. All of my b+w work is done in the darkroom. I process color film too but output is via lightjet.
I'm interested in proper photoshop dodge/burn techniques, blending 2 scans, working with layers, ie only things that apply to making fine art prints. While I get by with the knowledge I have, I know I can make better prints. I own/operate a drum scanner and I'm mostly self-taught with photoshop. I'd like to get some hands on instruction locally on an individual or group basis. I could take a class at the local community college but I'm afraid most of what their teaching won't apply to someone who shoots LF film and makes lightjet prints. I'm currently in los angeles but will be relocating to west michigan in a few months.

If you ever get to Toronto I will sit down with you for an afternoon and show a workflow we use and recommend using Photoshop to make prints.
You will then have to buy dinner.

Only 4 hours drive from Cross Landing, Aug and May are not good months for me.

Bob, it may take two dinners as I don't know much. You've at least seen my work so you know where I'm starting from. I've only been to Toronto once and the people there were very nice as was the city. Thanks for the offer.
