Damaged photos
Does anyone know how to remove a photo that has stuck to the glass of a frame? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Michelle - I can say that I've been there/done that!
You cannot save the print, but you can scrape it off, and save the glass for another print.
For future reference - you cannot insert a glossy or semi-glossy image into a frame with direct contact with the glass. This is what "mats" are used for - to add a little space between the print and the glass.
You CAN, however, place matte photo paper up to glass with no repercussions.
Sorry,

Hi Michell, sorry about the damaged photo. I'm just guessing here, but would it be possible to scan the photo through the glass? Would the scanned copy be good enough to restore in PS? Might work.

Michelle,
Sorry for your loss. (I hope you saved the negative.)Michael,
...Good piece of info re: matte vs. glossy paper and their reactions to glass surfaces. (I didn't know that).
