Joel: That's exactly what I was looking for - someone to hold my hand!
Seriously, I've been experimenting with the resolution setting. The default
setting on the Nikon LS-30 is 1350 with a max of 2700. But with the 1350
setting, I was generating TIFF files around 27K. Adobe PS5.5 was balking
when I used the "Save for Web" feature resulting in a "unable to process"
command. That's when I dropped the res down to 110. I'll certainly try your
method. Thanks again, Ron

FWIW my process:
1) Scan at 2700 ppi (or high as possible)
2) Save original image as .tif file at 2700 ppi with LZW compression on
3) Select "Image > Image Size" in PS; click "Resample Image" to select; put
"72 ppi" for resolution, and "400" (or 480 for full screen width, depending
on your screen) for width; click OK
4) From "File" menu select "Save as"
5) Select "jpg" as file type and name the file.
6) An ensuing JPG dialogue will allow you to select the quality-level of
your image; you can select a very low quality level and not see too much
deterioration; save the file
7) Open the original TIF file in PS; open the jpg in a browser and compare
them; make contrast and/or brightness adjustments to the jpg and re-save;
if you've saved the JPG at too low a quality level you can go back to step
4 above and save at a higher level
There are other ways to skin this cat too. This works for me with apparent
success.
