...Mike,
 I've also noticed that slide scans tend to lose apparent shadow detail to 
some extent as well. This is one of the reasons why Dmax and the bit depth 
of scanners is important. A fellow motorsports photographer on 
Photosig.com, Dave Smith, has noticed the same thing; and has been working 
on his Photoshop skills to get better scans. From what I've seen lately, 
looks like he's getting there.  I should try the scan in 16-bit instead of 
8-bit and see what that does. What's kind of strange is that this detail 
tends to come back when I print the scan out on the Epson 820. Why that is 
I'm not sure of....
 
Try multisampling if you scanner and SW support it. I heard that can really 
bring out the shadow details.. 
 I know what you mean about a quality that says "film"; from that I take it 
you also feel there is a quality that says digital...I would agree, but 
not always....
Here's two photos I took with the D60...they don't look like they have a 
digital quality to me, but you decide...

Nice picture - except, what is the fuzzy edge around the big rock on the 
right? Is it some sort of aliasing artifact? It's hard to tell from the 
small file.
