Another great reason for using film!

Why are you arguing about it then?

An unusual find of exposed and unprocessed film from a hundred years ago was handed to a specialist in recovery and restoration. Through a complex process of physical handling and digital image manipulation, some images from this find have been retrieved. Because of this, all film is far superior to digital capture.

My response: Utter nonsense, and not worth the hot air to argue about. Believe what you want to believe. Belief does not constitute fact.

The skill of the conservator was all in the physical handling, the digital scanning was done because this was nitrate film which has a low flash point and is auto catalytic, which means it doesn't need oxygen to burn (it burns underwater)

It is a fact film is easier to conserve long term than digital, mainly because it is physical and not hidden on a carrier.

So if you choose to believe or not Godfrey, this really did happen and does constitute a fact-film is easier to preserve in these cases, it is cheaper for long term as well.

It is a strawman to say that 'all film is superior to digital capture' you're the only person to suggest that, but what is a fact is film being physical is easier to store long term and damage to the images easier to repair (even if you have to do that digitally)
