Hello Colorsync members. I recently received a photo for restoration
from a client. The photo is a color photograph that is VERY faded
(most likely from the 1960's), and is stuck to the glass under which it
was framed. As a first step, and to add a bit of security to the
project, I plan to scan the photo as is, i.e. stuck to the glass. This
way, at the very least, I will have a copy of the original "as is."
However, I would like to be able to remove it from the glass. There
are a number of stains that seems to be "caused" by some kind of
interaction between the emulsion and possibly chemical residues left on
the glass. Or another theory is that water/humidity soaked the print
from the back and parts of the emulsion "glued" to the glass after
drying. These stains will seriously limit my abilities to effectively
restore the photo due to their size and placement. However, it seems
that if the photo could be resoaked and removed from the glass, that
these stains would be minimized. My question is: How do I resoak the
photo? What liquid is safe to use? Any special advice or tips? Any
advice appreciated. I apologize if this is too off topic for the
colorsync list. I just figured that this would be the kind of place
that would have professsionals that might have some specific knowledge
related to my dilemma. If necessary, please reply of-list. Thank you.
