Here's how I do it in Photoshop.
I rescale the image "by hand". From a scan of 1350 dpi, 2200x(whatever) I sharpen, then downscale it. Once I get to a decent websize, I then do a Save For Web. Fewer artifacts this way.

film will block up the highlights... I just thought that it was a quality of the film (that it didn't handle highlights too well... :)
Anyway, there is plenty of detail in the scan in his teeth, although the shirt is rather badly burnt out...
It seems to get worse when I downsample things for the gallery too... I'm using photoshop and saving for the web... the original scan is somewhat large (5888 x 4000 pigs) and I ask it to save down to about 53k
I also noticed on the Gallery that the background has severe artifacts... don't know if there was a problem with the web-server or maybe my submission could be done better. Any tips and tricks anyone, on how to save images down and maintain optimal res, or is it just a point and shoot thing?
