I have a suggestion for u- there is a certain kind of matte glass that when placed over a picture in a frame -it looks as if there isn't any glass.

I might use varnish, the realy shiny one.. I've done it . But if the picture is too valuable try to use glass.

If your "picture" is a photo, I think would have a piece of glass cut to fit the frame, and use a mat to keep the glass from contacting the photo. If the "picture" is not valuable and not a photo, there are a number of things to use... depending on what kind of picture it is. Is it printed on canvas? Is it printed on paper? is it a drawing or a painting? If it's a print, what kind of a print? Was it printed on paper from your home printer? Laser or ink-jet? what kind of paper, coated or non-coated?

How about acrylic sheets--the kind you peel the paper off of both sides.

I like Steve's suggestion. If it is a photo that you value you need to have it professionally framed... meaning you need to add a mat and glass. The mat helps prevent the photo from sticking to the glass and the glass helps prevent dust and other floating debris from collecting onto your photo. As an exhibiting artist the only thing that I don't put under glass are paintings on canvas. On a painting on canvas would have the varnish to protect it. Good Luck!

Go to the Dollar Tree and buy a frame--take the glass out and put in other frame.
