Hi Friends,
I have a family slide collection that I have invested considerable time and energy into scanning and, more recently, into learning how to keyword and organize these photos in Lightroom. These slides represent my growing up and are my most valued possession.
As I work to keyword the slides with my parents who took the photos, I am noticing that some of the photos would benefit from exposure correction and "minor" sorts of edits such as this. Getting to my question - What is the protocol or etiquette for working with a collection like this? I'd ideally connect with someone who has worked with art in a similar manner. I want to be sure to cross every t and dot every i during this project and ensure that it exists well into the future. Can anyone offer any advice?
On a side note, but along the same lines of maintaining the integrity of the slide collectionm I'll share something interesting I came across. Years ago, the family gathered to watch the slides. This was the only way to view them and created an real experience. The children would argue on who got to operate the "clicker" and the family was together sharing both laughs and tears. Since I scanned the slides, I've had family members asking for copies of the slides. I have chosen not to share them because I want the family to come together when viewing these photos. By going digital, I feel that this aspect of the slides has been jeopordized. As an example; I did share the slides with my immediate family though and I have since seen hacked up and put on facebook as a meme and this sort of thing. This furthered my logic for not sharing them digitally with the entire family.
Constructive feedback is appreciated.
Thank you.
