Some of the things that I scan I will not have access to in the future, at
least not in as good a condition as now.  In ten years, most 1970s slides
will have turned red by fading.  And think about what kinds of files we will
want in 5-10 years, probably by then PS and printers will all be working in
16 bit from start to finish.  I work with historic images so the demand for
these images can only grow with the passage of time.

I make a cd of each image and each version.  After making a raw 16 bit at
the maximum resolution possible, that gets burned immediately.  I do
retouch, levels, etc and burn a second CD.  I go to 8 bit and resize, and
burn a third cd.  On that third CD i add a small jpg which is what my
printer uses to print the picture on the cd sleeve. (light impressions
archival 5x7" negative envelopes)  The master scans get stored in a
different building than the retouched ones, so if there is a fire I am not
out of business.   I can find any scan quickly and visually confirm the
image.
