I always scan at the scanner's maximum resolution, i.e. 2400 ppi. This means that a full-frame 35mm image is about 3600x2400 pixels. After I have made the levels and sharpness and whatever other adjustments in Photoshop, I reduce the image to 750 pixels in width (if I have not cropped anything, then the height will fall around 500 pixels) for a horizontal image or 600 pixels in height for a vertical image so as to fit it on most people's monitors. I do this using Photoshop's Image Size command with the "Resample Image" box checked. I then save the result as the JPG file that gets uploaded to my web site. They key is that the initial scan and all subsequent Photoshop work is carried out at the highest resolution; the reduction to web size comes only after all that has been done.
