New Software Yellows Neglected Digital Photos Over Time | The Onion - America's Finest News Source
Eastman Kodak released an imaging software package that yellows, fades, and even loses digital photos over time Monday. "With the click of a mouse, Fotomatshop will make your digital photographs crease, develop fingerprint spots, and even stick together in their 'virtual shoebox,'" Kodak president Antonio Perez said. "It even has motion-blur and redden-eye features." The software takes a week to process 26 digital photos, and charges $9.95 per use.
In truth, I almost wish this story were true.
I've seen that picture frames are making the transition to digital display of data, as opposed to framed display of traditional photos. Pictures might make the jump to a fully-electronic existence someday, depriving them of all the wonderful features of old age. Sentimental value, methinks.
