<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 7893, member: 67&quot;]Not very likely. You can still recoup from floppy disc, how much older do you want. It <i>may </i>not be easy to recoup but it can be done, it <i>is </i>done <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=recover+floppy+disc" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=recover+floppy+disc" rel="nofollow">from floppy everyday</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Access what and why you want these photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>a.) do you want the image.</p><p>b.) do you want the object.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want the image, because you want to keep a record of your family, you need to scan the images at a very high resolution, (16,000-24,000) at that rate of resolution you will be preserving the information (actual image) in more detail than the original photograph. Make the images in a non loss format (png) and and store them on some sort of memory storage device (USB Memory Stick). Y</p><p><br /></p><p>You can re-title the .png files, and organize them into folders to make them easier to locate in the device and record any information you want on an .rtf file (WordPad) which you also burn onto the storage device. (if you scan the backs of photos to record any written messages, names, etc, you can do that at a lower resolution since you won&#039;t be printing them out)</p><p><br /></p><p>You can delete the original png files from your puter to free up memory.</p><p><br /></p><p>You will then be able to manipulate or print the photos from these scans at any time.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to preserve the image, you can keep them in non-acid albums, put them in non-acid protectors, or glassine, and store them in non-acid shoe boxes AND watch them slowly fade, instead of quickly fade as if you nailed them to a lamppost or framed them on the wall.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are interested in the object. You need to store them in non-acid material and using museum methods. Do not frame or display them for long periods of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>The beauty of digital recovery, is like having a $100,000,000 necklace that sits in a bank vault while you wear the replica to the opera. You can properly store the original, yet make the best possible copy from digital and not worry if it fades, because you can always make a new one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
