I'm using a slide scanner usually, so this may not apply...
I believe web images should be made at 72dpi.
My slide scanner software asks me what _size_ image I want. Obviously, the
largest you would possibly want would be 640x480, as that's the size of a
low-res 14" monitor. My slide scanner scans at 96dpi, so I convert to
72dpi, and resize the image down to about 4" x 5" max. Then save as jpg at
3 level. Then I reduce the size to thumbnail and do a 'save as' on the
thumbnail.
