LaserSoft Imaging

I have been UNLUCKY enough to try Nik Sharpener Pro and can tell you that the results you get are terrible if you want to sharpen there is no better way than USM and tweaking the image till its right.

Is it possible to make the curves adjustment window like photoshop so that when you move the cursor over a part of the image it shows up on the curves line. I find this very useful in photoshop even nikon scan has it!

Can someone explain the use of the automatic density button in silverfast for nikon coolscan.
What is its purpose and what benefits does it bring, because I can't find any explaination of it in the PDFs
