The Importance of Cleaning Negatives

Negatives are an integral part of the analog photography process. They contain precious memories captured in time, but over the years, they can accumulate dust, debris, and other contaminants. These impurities can negatively impact the quality of the images and potentially damage the negatives themselves.
