• Fading: Photos don’t last forever as printed photos are made through a so called “chromogenic” process which is necessary to achieve the colors in the negatives. The chemical reactions are unstable that effects that light can easily damage the colors of the negative.
• Color Shift: Colors of the negatives can also be changed in the dark as the chemical reactions already begins after that photo is printed.
• Scratching: Negatives can easily be scratched through dust, debris or incautious handling. The major problem is that the scratches are more or less invisible and can only be detected after the negative was scanned.
• Natural Disasters: Besides the damaging effects of fading, color shift and scratching, your negatives could also not be save at home. Due to unexpected fire, water damage, misplacement or pets your negatives or photos can be lost forever.
