LOL Edward! Don't hate me because I'm beaut... er, I mean lucky! For that scan, I just used Epson's software (via the import option in Photoshop). I made use of the auto exposure mode but sharpened the image myself after the scan.
To be honest, I was a little worried after reading about others having problems getting a good scan. So I just decided to keep it simple and go with what looked good to me. You'll get there, Edward, don't worry :-)
