Hi,
Would someone please explain to me what is the difference between photo albums that say they are acid free and photo safe versus ones that photographers offer that are archival quality?
All the pictures I have taken with my own camera have been kept in albums that I have bought from stores like Target or Michaels and the only thing that it says on the cover is that it is photo safe and acid free. They haven't discolored. Is it just the albums with magnetic pages that are the problem?
Is it safe to use the same generic albums I've used for regular pictures to keep my wedding pictures? I know in the book it mentioned that the plastic in regular albums can damage photos, so why hasn't it damaged the pictures I have taken?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
