Sona - High Quality Images are always good to work with - but do need to be resized in a graphics program like photoshop, paintshop pro, fireworks, however, you can also use any camera software that allows you to modify your images when you get them from the camera, or even some online places that allow you to upload your image and it resizes on the fly for you.

But, my opinion, and that's all I can give you ... is the better quality image you buy to start with, the sharper, cleaner image it looks when it's resized to web pages requirements of 72dpi.

On the other hand, if you purchase from a quality place, the 72dpi could also be of good enough web quality to use. I suppose it's trial and error.

You should scale the images to the exact size in pixels of the box they are in. The resolution (in contrary what everybody alway says) is not relevant for websites.
For a good quality you should never scale image with (CSS) width or height because they will look less good then the ones that are not scaled (1 pixel = 1 pixel on the monitor).
A good example of scaled high res Photos here (look a the 9th picture from the top)
Photo's scaled and saved with Photoshop are a much better quality for the size (in kB) then the ones made with a lot of the cheaper tools.
Use save for the web in Photoshop or use Jpeg Cleaner to make the files even smaller.

Save photo's in Jpg quality 5 or 6 and  logo's as GIF.

Good luck.
