To show your inking, show both pencils and inks on a project AND you inking another artist.
2) With all the identifying information in a jpeg, I use those. You can save a jpeg such that it contains a ton of information when it is right clicked. Nothing can ever be lost.
3) Most companies take pages saved at 72 dpi 10 inches by 6.75(?) -- , but basically comicbook size. I created an action in photoshop, that when I scan in a page at full size 11 by 17, it reduces it to 10 inches high and 72 dpi. I scan and crop my pages so only the art shows, then use the action to reduce to company requested submission size.
