If you plan to publish on the web, you need not bother with the great
size of files your scanner's full resolution will produce. 72 dpi is
about right for the end product you will need although since you are
going to edit in Photoshop maybe scanning at 150dpi and then scalling
down in photoshop will produce better end results.

In any case, you will be scaning from magazines and if you consider
that the top limit for any such source will most probably never exceed
300dpi (which is the max that wil have been used at the printer's
originally) you should not really concern yourself with more than that.

I would only use higher resultion than this if I were scanning a high
quality original photo print or negative.

A panaorama stitching tool is not necessary because it is only required
to get rid of lens distortion which does not occur in scans.

Excellent. My scanner should get here sometime next week; I'll send out
the scans shortly thereafter. You want the highest-density scans
possible, in original bitmap rather than JPEG form? Those are going to
be some big files; the scanner claims 1200 dpi, and some of the
pictures are full pages.
