My daughter came home from work with an old photo. It's a picture of her friend's father, and it was made in 1943. Here's the problem: It is 10 X 16 inches, it's printed on a paper that kind of resembles canvas, it's mounted on thin but durable cardboard type stock, and the image is rounded at the top....08-18-2002, 07:42 PM

I have a lovely BW photo of my mother's family, taken by a studio. the print appears to be glued to the mat board/paper on which it is mounted. I've already scanned it, but want to get the original off the paper and into an archive sleeve.
What's my best move?

Ok. This is not a tutorial as much as it is a chance for you to see what happens when you get creative and are able to sacrifice your original photo.

I have some large sepia tone photos for retouching that are still in their frames. I am not sure how to proceed.
There appears to be some sort of watter damage in some areas. It is a darkenning under the glass and other areas of splotchy darkenning. I am not sure if I should try to...09-05-2001, 06:38 AM

Hi all,
Could I get some advice on how best to repair this old printed photo? It ripped and I had to glue the front on but as you can see in the picture it is torn and will continue to weather away since it is a rough edge. Is there some sort of plastic that can cover it? Something better than scotch tape? Lamination? -
It needs to be cut out and reframed, ideally behind a mat and UV glass. A frame store could do it if you'd rather not bother.
However, I'd recommend carefully removing the frame (that newsprint and wood is slowly destroying it), making a good quality scan, and putting the original in an acid-free envelope (larger art supply stores should have it). Then restore it digitally and make a good print for display.Learn by teaching
