Does anybody have a successful way of working with B/W negatives
in HDR?

Scan the the negative as an HDR colour positive. Make sure that you do NOT have "for HDR color" checked as shown here:

HDR should be set for Negatives rather than Postives and NegaFix will now be available. Open your image and it will now be inverted and ready for applying the appropriate film profile.

Thanks Ian. That makes a big difference, All I need now is a good Negafix profile for B&W. I found that monchome works best so far. I am scanning negatives taken with a Speed Graphic camera in 1939. The film is Agfa B&W.
