ABSTRACT
In an exponentially changing world, one increasingly looks backwards for a sense of stability. It is comforting for photographers to know that their images will survive the ravages of time to become an important legacy for the next generation. Although the need for archival processing is often a personal ambition, rather than a necessity, the qualities required of a print depend on circumstance. For instance, prints destined for collectors of fine art require archival qualities, simply due to the extremely high, but fully justified, customer expectations in this special market. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780240816265/ffb21561-2f2c-4dca-99ec-f086fc154d4d/content/fig2_u3_OC.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
