I just had new prints made of my Grandparents wedding picture for my Mother. Mother is 97.

The prints are copies of old photos cleaned up by local photo store people. They look great and now are on a digital file. I can scan too, but I am not up on the improving with computer. Wow! the print's file from the photo store is 25k mb. I resized with my pc.
The physical size of the print is about 8x10

Question is - Remounting in the old oval frame, under the original glass, is there anything I should do to on the print/glass interface? I have cleaned the glass with dish soap. And it is set aside to stay dry and clean. The glass is probably old glass. Looking through it like a window, it is not clear glass. But bring the glass close to a picture or printed paper, the view clears up a lot.

Anyway, to protect the print, is there anything needed to be done to the glass? Or between glass and print?

There are UV sprays you can buy to protect the print.

Take a look at B&H site…

You may also want to buy better glass from a local framing company.

I have bought glass that is virtually invisible. Spendy but well worth it for such a special picture.

I think getting special glass would be a good idea. Look for UV protection and anti-glare.

Thanks all

Going to a frame shop this week

Might consider mounting it on an 8X10 rectangular mounting board then in front of that add another 8X10 mounting board with the oval cut out to expose the photo. In front of that goes the glass. That way, the photo is separated from contact with the glass. I've seen photos that when left in contact with the glass for long periods of time will attach themselves to the glass and cannot be removed without damage. Talk to the framer.

I know what you mean Sailor.

The starting prints were in this oval frames. So that is where they will be. The frame shop says they will spacer the print from new glass.
