I'm reading the DAM book (Digital Asset Management) which is very informative for developing a workflow and cataloging and archiving. However the book works on the premise that you are shooting RAW and then converting to DNG. Since I shoot and scan film, I'm wondering if anyone else has read the book and how they've adapted it to an analogue workflow.

Do you scan and then convert to DNG and proceed? I usually scan and then create adjustment layers in Photoshop and save as a PSD and then flatten and convert to TIF for my printable version and save off as jpg for web versions. Not quite sure how to adapt this to the DAM workflow.
 
If you own vuescan professional you can scan to RAW and be like the book or you could not worry about and just scan to tiff. RAW gives you more post processing options, if you need or want them.
