Default Scanning prints to touch up and print

Greetings,
Took some 35mm pictures of my brothers wedding. Pictures came out great
except the house in the upper 1/3 of picture looks grotesque and is peeling.
What I want to do is to scan my prints -What dpi/resolution should I scan
them at? Then touch them up (remove ratty house and replace with blue sky)
and send them to someone to print on a color laser or something-Can anyone
recommend a place to do this by sending over the Internet? Then when done I
want to stick everything in an album and give it to him. Also can anyone
recommend any sites which may help me out?
Thanks

If you are going to order prints the same size as your original prints,
scanning at 300 dpi is sufficient. (If you want a warm fuzzy feeling,
you can go to 400dpi)
You don't really help yourself by scanning
at 600 dpi or higher, because the information content of a commercial
print is no greater than 300 dpi. You will just be generating a bigger
file with no additional information. Sort of like Resampling in Photoshop.
For prints, FORGET a laser printer. Your best bet is an online print
processor.
I like WalMart ONLINE. http://www.walmart.com Not the neighborhood
store. WalMart Online does excellent work at a very good price.
