Jim Chinn said:We often hear the claims of archival longevity of digital images and data mediums. I am curious if there is any difinitive answer as to the longevity of a optimally processed and stored analog negative on modern polyester substrate. I would assume under proper storage it could be indefinetly. Any facts that support an actual length of time?
Jim Chinn said:I argued that with even a minimum of common sense towards storage, a properly processed silver negative would last hundreds of years. I don't know about color negatives but know first hand how badly transparencies (Kodachrome) can fade in just 40 years although i suppose there exists strict storage protocols to help longevity of color emulsions.
