[…] All photos need to be dry and removed from picture frames and albums. Those that cannot be extracted will still be copied, but the quality may suffer. Photos that are stuck together can be separated by soaking, but should first be tested on a corner to see if the emulsion is stable enough to soak. Further instructions on care can be found on “Salvage Flood-Damaged Photos.” […]

Wonderful ways to save Flood damaged photos which would help one to salvage one’s memory for long in spite of hurricane sandy or others.
This is a very good way of restoring your damaged photos. Thank you for the knowledge!
I also do Photoshop restoration, and would love to help in this extremely worthwhile endeavor. Feel free to contact me if you’d like more help.
Say your story and would love to help. I am an unemployed graphic artist and would love to give back in some way.
I had about 15 albums of pictures I had taken over 50 years. I was so sick of thinking about them, my son told me to put them in the freezer. Every once and awhile I pull one out and remove some pictures and lay them out to dry. Many of them have mold around the edges but still they’re ok. The most difficult thing for me was throwing out pictures of family members that were beyond rescue including pictures of my Son William who is deceased. As a Catholic it was like throwing old Palm in the garbage. Afterwoulds I thought, maybe I should have burned them. Is it true that there is a limit to free restoration (20) pictures?
