scanned negative as it appears in Lightroom 3.6 as a .DNG file format, compared to below in the next scan, same image as a TIFF file.
This has been bugging me for awhile. You have many options when using Vuescan software to run the Epson Scanners. If you want a properly scanned Negative, save your Scan under "OPTIONS" as a TIFF file. If you save your scan as a .DNG file...when Vuescan saves the file, for import into Lightroom 3.6, it (Lightroom) will change the "Gamma" setting from "1" to "2.2". Which will make your scan seem slightly overexposed.
This has been driving me crazy for awhile. I thought maybe there was some pre-selected import setting i had wrong, but it has to do with the file and the way a DNG file is saved. Rangefinder Forum has an interesting discussion on it.

If you are using Vuescan and lightroom, save the film negative in TIFF format instead of DNG on the "output" tab using no compression in Vuescan.
This was driving me bonkers. Seriously, maybe i never read that in the instructions, or i missed it or maybe I am not a programmer. I just want the stupid thing to look like what i scanned. The reason for shooting film is that i don't have a big workflow to do, Just shoot,scan.post. film is awesome.
Hope this helps somebody...
anyway, glad that is figured out so i can stop swearing under my breath.
