> Hi!
> May I ask a very basic question?  Does everyone scan images to be 
> used on the web (slides and photographs) at 72dpi/ppi?  Or do you 
> scan at a higher resolution and then resample?  Pros and cons of 
> either?   Which is the preferred format for storing the images - tiff 
> or bmp before converting to jpeg?
