I have a large number of slides that I will soon be scanning in batch mode
(from newsgroup feed back I am going to go with the Nikon LS-4000 with
SF-200).  I wish to have scans with various resolutions.  For example I
would like to create a library of index prints that can be used to locate
files for use on the Internet or for printing at 4x6, 8x10, 13 x 19 or
larger.

My question is what is the best way to get the necessary files for different
printing and display needs?  Do I scan at a number of different resolutions?
 Do I scan at the highest resolution, and then use other software to scale
down to required resolution?  Are there products that are good at batch
scanning at different resolutions?  In there software that can take scans at
high resolution and then (in batch mode) produce a series of lower
resolution output files?

Also are there any database / file management programs that allow you to
create a database of index and high resolution output files?  Hopefully the
software would also allow you to store picture information such as
date/location/camera/f-stop/shutter-speed etc.

Any help in identify the best process and the best products would be most
appreciated.
