Do you have old photos, negatives or 35mm slides stored in boxes in the loft or under the bed ... ? At some time in our lives we all browse through old photo albums to reminisce on days gone by, to remember when the kids were young or to remember important people who may not be with use any more. Unfortunately all photos, slides and negatives degrade over time. Colour photos begin to fade from the day that they were printed and even those you have carefully stored in albums will eventually fade away to blank sheets of paper. Slides and negatives are not immune. They undergo dramatic colour shifts and fading even in the absence of light as the film emulsion degrades over time. Kodachrome slides are especially vulnerable to this degredation. What about the effects of dust, handling and humidity ? All of these environmental factors hasten the degredation. We have all seen old photos and slides that have passed the point of no return. In fact even the slightest amount of dust or environmental contamination scar the sensitive emulsion. Digital scanning is the only 100% sure way to preserve your images and keep them in pristine condition.
