Help - damp photographs - Photography

[Tom]

I have precious photographs that have become very. As a result, they have
now stuck together. I would hope to scan any that I can save but I have to
rescue them first.

Any advice about how I might separate them with the least damage to them?

Put them in water until they separate?

this is the best advice.... photos are processed in a wet chemical... water
will not hurt them while soaking..... :) good luck!

Let them soak until they come apart on their own. If you pull them
apart it will tear the immulsion off of the paper back. Once they
come apart put them on a hard smooth surface and squegee them off then
lay them face up to dry on a towel or a screen.
