I'd like to turn my best digital pictures into transparencies (is that the word? slide film thingees?). I think it would be more likely that someone later discovering my pictures as transparencies would be less likely to chuck them. Not all my pics, just the best. And stored in a fireproof something, they'd probably keep a long time.
I presume it can be done. But I haven't priced it and it is probably prohibitive. OTOH, along with everything else digital that may change. Costs may come down. Certainly there are enough of us out here who worry about archiving that that might happen. We shall see. Marnie aka Doe
