Adobe Camera Raw does not work on TIFF files either. No RAW converter does.
Vuescan's TIFF RAW files are fundamentally different from digital camera RAW files in that they are already RGB files, they simply haven't been gamma corrected and color adjusted/inverted for film characteristics. The operations required are quite different from what is done to a digital camera's RAW capture output. I find it much more useful to use Vuescan including the basic scan corrections and output TIFF files for further adjustment in Photoshop CS2. In other words, my workflow from scanned film and digital capture intersect after the RAW conversion phase. I tried an eval of Capture One LE but preferred the options of using Photoshop CS2 + Bridge + Camera Raw. I also keep experimenting with the Adobe Lightroom beta ... it might pose a workflow solution that is appealing by the time it is finished. For best understanding of RAW workflow with Photoshop CS2, read Bruce Fraser's excellent "Real World Camera One with Photoshop CS2". It will save weeks to months of experimentation time in learning.
