I was once told by a man who did very
large murals, that he couldn't make good
murals from slides after they had been
projected or handled more than a few times.

So what he did was have the originals
*immediately* duped by a high-grade lab.
Originals were filed away.  The dupes
were shopped around to buyers, shown
in slides shows, etc.  The originals only
came out to make murals.

I would think that making dupes of your
most precious work, and cooking,
glass mounts, etc, *those* would be
a good practice, assuming you can
get a really excellent dupe made.

(There was a good thread on that
 a while back.)
