Is there any way to remove a photo stuck to the glass cover ?
if so how, and if not, how should I scan the image ?

Can you put the glass and all on the scanner? Sometimes you can get a good scan that way without removing it. If the glass lays flat on the scanner glass, you shouldn't get a glare. If you do get a glare, try scanning from several angles so you can take what is good from the different angles.

Is may be easier to take a photograph of the image and upload it to your computer.

The Photoflo information on the other thread is excellent.

Make your backup, and then follow the instructions and hints for using Photoflo and water.
