It's odd. It is not like I use those archive discs again and again--they aren't getting "worn out." My experience with discs that become "bad" has been with discs that have probably NEVER been used since they were first burned. They've just been resting happily in their jewel cases. <BR/><BR/>BEWARE!Steve Buccellatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465853293584074247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15085631.post-1145656651733252492006-04-21T14:57:00.000-07:002006-04-21T14:57:00.000-07:00Digital files going'Bad' is news to me.What happen...Digital files going'Bad' is news to me.What happened Steve?

That's what they use foe most reprints: old film. Either all 4 color plates, or they just take the black plate and make a "positive" out of it that can be scanned and re-colored. Or printed in black & white, obviously.<BR/><BR/>In this case, the film is cleary missing, so they had no other option.<BR/><BR/>These days, there is NO film, so people need to reliably archive their digital files to preserve the finished colored & letterd pages. <BR/><BR/>I've recently been shocked to find that some of my old CD ROM archives have gone "bad" over the years. They are NOT as indestructible as we were led to believe. I've taken to making multiple back-ups of pages I really don't want to lose, but a few things are gone forever. :(Steve Buccellatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07465853293584074247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15085631.post-1145647844382207672006-04-21T12:30:00.000-07:002006-04-21T12:30:00.000-07:00Hey, when I was editing Essentials, we DID run acr...Hey, when I was editing Essentials, we DID run across a lot of situations where the film was missing, and YES, we did have to scan off the comics and then run some filters over them.
