I definitely agree. Plus, it's worthwhile to archive that higher resolution
scan for future use. Personally, I always scan at the max optical resolution
and perform all my edits at that resolution (with as many done in 36-bit
colour mode as possible) and save that file. Then, whenever I need the image
for some purpose, I always go back to that "original".
For instance, when I was preparing my web graphics, I had originally resized
to the biggest size I wanted, then resized that image to the next size, and
so on. I realised that this might not be a good idea, so I started from
scratch for each image (resizing the "original" to the size I needed for
each file) and I did find a slight increase in quality. I also found that
there was a slight change in the pixel dimensions of the image, probably
because of rounding multiple times in the first case.
