I'm fairly confident that file formats like JPEG & TIFF will be readable in the future, for at least as long as "archival" prints can be expected to last. The media they're saved on might change, but the files will last as long as someone remembers to transfer them to newer forms of media when they come along.

Hi Team: Just thought this might be of interest given a recent thread about compatibility of DNG files on old software versions. To my mind, more importantly, it makes the case for paper :-)))—print your photos—and an even better idea is to make photo books—which with Lightroom are really fun and relatively easy to make. I’ve recently purchased some archival clam shell photo boxes for loose photos, and they’ve been working out well. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31450389 The solution suggested by internet guru, Vint Cerf, seems interesting enough, but printing either a single photo or photo books, should still remain a viable option for showcasing and preserving all your lovely photos—IMHO :-)!!! Cheers, Christine
