For my taste the best solution (I'm doing this for all my important
slides) is to give them away for scanning to Kodak PhotoCD. There
are big quality differences and sometimes they do not blow the slide
sufficiently and scan dust. However you can easily work on the
slides and even remove severe scratches with Adobes fabulous
Photoshop 3.05. The program is not cheap but simply a must for
everybody interested in digital imaging. Usually the best format for
photographs on the WWW is jpeg. Work on the 4MByte resolution and
reduce size when you're finished. Then resharpen a little, since the
size reduction usually has a little blurring effect. Then reformat to
jpeg.
