Digital photos. They are so fantastic... we can instantly see what we shoot, share with family and friends, we can take them at any time with our smart phones and best of all they are so much cheaper than film photos. Who remembers paying $2 per photo for film + processing? I do!
But, there's one big problem with digital formats. Over time, better ones appear.
The photos and negatives from 100+ years ago are still viewable today. We just look at the photo, or shine light through the negative and voila the image appears.
The digital photos from just 15 years ago are stuck on floppy discs, compact flash cards or even DVDs. Yes, many of us with new computers and web-TVs don't even have a DVD player at home!
Format Migration
Then there's the file fomats. Right now JPEG is the format of the moment, but it has it's own issues. For one thing, it's lossy, so each time you edit a photo you can loose definition and quality. Do you think that JPEG will be the format in 10 or 20 years? Probably not.
So what needs to be done? Format migration.
