My workflow would be to scan at 14bit at maximum resolution of the scanner doing as much prescan adjustments as makes sense. Scans are saved as an uncompressed TIF. Images are manipulated in PS mostly spotting, minor levels and curves work, moderate dodging and burning, occasionally cloning something out like a powerline then saved as a renamed TIFF. Only when resized for the web are my images changed to JPEG's. When I ulitmately switch some work to digital originals the work flow would be to shoot RAW, dump the card to harddrive, burn to DVD and archive the DVD. Images selected for further work would then be manipulated and saved as an Adobe DNR.
