esolution for scanning images for the web

[Yvonne Reynolds]

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?

TIA
yvonne
