        Well, since JPEG is a lossy image mode, better to do all your work in
24bit non-lossy formats first, then convert to JPEG.

        However, the question re Photoshop is not so simple...  You say you
want a final image of 1.5x2.5... But at WHAT DPI?  To generate a 256-grey on a
300DPI laser printer will require a line screen of ~20LPI...  Your 1.5x2.5
image would be 30x50pixels.  64-grey can use a 60x100pixel image.  On a
monitor? How many pixels/inch do you have...  (BTW: a 2500DPI image setter
could take ~234x390 pixel image).
