Help with old photos

[airdvr 210]

Have a couple of old photographs. Somehow they got wet and I can see they are stuck to the glass. I really want to save them but I fear if I try to seperate them from the glass I'll ruin them.

Please don't dent the planet.

here is a thought but im not sure if it will work.

if they were wet when they got stuck then reverse the process and let them dry somewhere were they wont stick.

so to recap thats:
soak
peel
dry

id try distilled water though.

Most of the time the photo will be ruined if you try to peel it away from the glass. If you know someone who is good at photoshop, you can scan the photo (with the glass) and try to fix the spots, then reprint it. I used to do that all the time at work for people in the same situation.

Go to a local photography shop.. Ask about the use of a "wetting agent" -- NOT WATER

You should be able to get the prints off of the glass without damage.

Take them to a professional photo restorer. Or, better yet, if you have the negative, just print it again.
