Yep, those would be minimum guidelines. I always overdo it though as I don't want to have to scan anything twice... 600dpi is minimum, 1200dpi is better if you can. Higher than that is probably over kill for the stuff we are doing. Always turn off color correction and any other manipulation the scanning software wants to do (auto contrast, brightness, etc...)
I don't use commercial filters (although the Descreen one I've heard it pretty good). I use several steps involving Gaussian blur, unsharp mask, the resizing technique... I've always done it manually, and I've never liked the ones built into the scanner software (but my scanner is a few years old, I can only assume that has improved with time).
Are the original scans available? The Lone Ranger link doesn't seem to work...
