Hi,
I scan all my black and white negs flat in Vuescan and then in Lightroom I adjust them. I hold option and drag the white slider to the right until there is no more white showing. I do the same with the black slider but to the left. I then adjust contrast, highlights, shadows, and then go back and redo the white and black points since those values change along with the other adjustments
Should I even be messing with the white and black points? Should I just adjust contrast, shadows, highlights, and that's it?
Curves adjustments are essentially the same thing as using the LR sliders save for white and black points adjustments, yeah?
Here is a link to the method I've been using but I'd only gotten feedback from one person and want to see if anyone else is doing it this way...

And I cannot use a curves adjustment. I like LR because the sliders allow me to see exactly what I'm doing. Curves stress me out so bad and even if they didn't the curves chart in LR is like 1x1"
Thank you in advance for helping me keep some of my sanity
PS: I had forgotten to switch to Professional when I made took those screenshots. All the settings are the same except for I'm using D-76 Cl .55 and curve low is .25 and high is .75 so it's completely flat.
