In times where storage space is cheap is there really a difference between keeping one picture safe or keeping 100 safe? If you can keep one safe, you can keep 1000s safe with the same kind of process.
- enriquto 7y agoBut how can you keep even a single picture safe? Are you able to read today any of your files from 20 years ago? Not in a theoretical sense.
- dewey 7y agoI was mostly referring to the previous comment about only keeping one picture and not a huge archive. But I don’t see a problem opening images from 20 years ago. If you are worried just keep a jpeg or raw viewer app in the archive too. Worst case there will probably be emulators to run an ancient OS where your image viewer works and you can convert your images.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoI think there is, my wife's photo archive has 30,000 images. Too big to zip up and put in an email, too big to put on a cheap USB stick, too big to quickly upload to S3, too big to properly catalogue and index, too big to really appreciate. Less is more.
