I scan it at 2000 dpi (higest on our Kodak 2035+ scanner) which is about
16-18 megs. Then I cut it down to 200 dpi at the proper size in Photoshop.
Then, when I prepare a photo for the web page, I make it (horizonal) 33
picas (6 picas= 1 inch) and 72 dpi. There's a proram called DeBabbelizer
that does a better job of prepping photos for the web. It costs $95 and I
haven't figured out how to get it to work for me at work. Some day I'll
take the time.

I jpeg at 5 for most of my pictures, but these I left at 8 to keep the jpeg
effect down.
