Negative Lab Pro gives you full control over how to interpret the very brightest and darkest parts of your scan, all non-destructively. This is one of the advantages of a fully-raw, non-destructive process while the default is set to push the black point and white. Copy the entire folder 'NegativeLab Camera Profiles' (from your unzipped download) into this CameraProfiles folder. If planning on using Vuescan RAW DNGs, copy the 'Vuescan Profiles' folder, also into the 'CameraRaw CameraProfiles' folder. From the research I've done a lot of people are saying scanning and exporting a raw DNG file on Vuescan and using the Negative Lab Pro plugin in Lightroom to interpret it is the best approach for scanning on a flatbed - so I just wanted to see what people thought of this and their experience with it. VueScan is my daily-driver for importing my line drawings into PhotoShop for my 'watercolor work.' The technical art I do for In-Fisherman publications has become their signature look with this working method. What have been the main benefits of VueScan for you? It seems like VueScan. IMPORTANT NOTE: I skipped an important step in the video. Correcting white balance is absolutely necessary to get a proper color. You may use the white balan.
In order for the Vuescan RAW DNGs to work property with Negative Lab Pro, their needs to be a special 'camera profile' dcp file made for your scanner.

As of version 1.3 of Negative Lab Pro, there is native support for converting RAW DNG files made from Vuescan (for supported scanners) When done correctly, this process should give you excellent, versatile scans, which can be non-destructively editing in Lightroom using Negative Lab Pro.
