BTW, recently some of our fellows pointed me to the Bruce Fraser's article
on creativepro.com
taking the approach of two-step sharpening. I assume some of more
knowledgeable PS users here are more or less familiar with this technique so
will probably be able to clarify something for me.
Basically, I liked that way separating the sharpness for archival and
outputting purposes allowing to preserve maximum of original sharpness
though just enough touch of unsharp mask to bring back the sharpness lost in
the process of scanning.
What I missed is the last point of this process: using Selection menu to
select the Edge Mask created in the duplicated image copy to apply it to the
original image.
I found impossible to do Load Selection into the original image window
without making Save Selection (choosing All option) prior to that (in Edge
Mask image window).
The Save Selection step it missing in his instructions, perhaps because it
might seem obvious to slightly more experienced PS user then me.
I would appreciate if someone here could clarify this point for me.

Last time I looked at numbers, just under half of all Web surfers are using
800x600; about 4 out of 5 of the remaining surfers are using 1024x768. Only
about one surfer in 50 is still set to 640x480. In fact, 1280x1024 and
1152x864 are both more common than 640x480.

No need; 24-bit and 32-bit color are equivalent.
