I would export them at their full,native size, with the pixels per inch set to 360, and export them as high-resolution .JPG images with the quality level set to 11.

I would have to go in the image resize menu to change that DPI to 360 correct??

It's PPI, not DPI. The terms are not interchangeable and have different meanings.

Note that PPI is the term Photoshop uses, and yes you would use the Image Size dialog in Photoshop.

DPI vs PPI

So i would change the PPI To 360 in photoshop and when i export it to jpeg just make sure the level is set to 11 Correct??

Yes. Set the Quality slider to 11.

I agree with the others. Do your edit's then export them as the correct PPI/DPI (same idea, different format...) but I usually export at 12 setting when I can for the max quality.

should i just jpeg to tiff format??

There's almost no advantage to .TIFF format images, really. A high-quality, first-generation .JPG image made from a raw file is a fine image; when the JPEG image is opened up and un-cmpressed in an image editor, it will "expand" as many people say, to the same size as a .TIFF image. I see very little advantage to making .TIFFs.

Of course, it depends on how many images there are..if we're talking just a few images, well, what the heck, okay, if you want, make .TIFF files. Buuuuuuut, some clients will not be happy with monstrously-sized, space-hogging, bandwidth-choking .TIFF files.

If you have 15 to 50 images, .TIFF files will be more of a pain in the butt than it is worth.
