I have changed the process of my editing. I scan in film w/nikon coolscan scanner. I don't quite know which resolution/size to save the images at. The largest print that I need is 11x14. I've been scanning in at 3200 dpi and changing the image size in ps to 300 dpi for printing purposes. Is there anything else that I need to be chaning on the ps "image size" screen? Do I save the Tiff as is and a Jpeg for my prints and a smaller file for website purposes?

Hard drive space is cheap. Scan at high res and save as TIFFs. How are you outputting? Might be best just to keep scanned resolution and let the ppi fall where it may when you resize the image. (that is keep Resample unchecked if you are printing to an inkjet or photo paper.)
