There are a number of ways to storing & archiving your digital photos. Printing on archival paper is the best way to protect your photos for future generations to enjoy, and protects them from PC hard drive crashes, CD/DVD damage, burns fading, and read errors. Yet these are also some viable forms of storing & archiving your precious photos. Keep images on your flash memory card, make a back-up of your image files on your PC, archival CD/DVD and an external hard drive. Store one of these back-ups away from your house in case of fire or water damage. Store your printed images in long term archival safe storage systems, such as Henzo dry mount albums and Albox storage pages & albums.  Albox is an Australian company who provides an archival quality storage system to store your photos, slides or negatives. There are a range of album sizes, colours and pages to hold 35mm or 120 negatives, 35mm slides, mounted or unmounted, cut to 4 or 6 frames, photos from 4x5 to 8x12, file hanging systems and memo tabs. They come in packs of 10 or 25.  To ensure you can share your precious photos with future generations print, back-up and archive your photos. When editing, always make a copy first and edit the copy, never edit the original image. If saving multiple edits, save in a non-compression file format, like TIFF or PSD file formats. Multiple saves in JPEG compression format will reduce the quality of your image files. |
