[MacDV] Slide show approach

[Jim Simmons]

I have successfully transfer video tapes to DVD format and achieved 
good results. Now I am getting set to transfer a large number of 35 
mm slides to a DVD for a slide show. Before I get too far down this 
road I feel that I should get some comments and suggestions on the 
approach I have in mind.

I plan on creating the slide show in iMovie HD and iDVD 5.0. I will 
be adding sound to the slide presentation. I am scanning the slides 
at 300 dpi and saving in the TIFF format. I then open them in 
Photoshop CS2 and perform color corrections because some of these 
slide are 45 to 50 years old. I then save them in the Photoshop 
format and will eventually create an album for iPhoto and them insert 
into iMovie. The image size of the scans are the same as the size of 
the original slides. Does this sound like a reasonable approach or 
should the scan resolution be increased?
