Hmmm. I don't save in TIFF as it takes up too much real estate on my drives. I save as high quality jpeg, usually around 300 ppi (Negs, of course get a much higher ppi). Then if I edit the shot, I save it as another name , preserving the original scan. Jpeg gets lossy if you save it over and over, so always edit a duplicate of the original scan. I also do any unsharp masking after the resizing and before I "save for web," remembering to tick the box "save icc profile."

Do all your corrections and sizing at this level, and then downsize for web display as the very last step.
