I put a picture inside a picture frame and it looks as though some parts of it are stuck to the glass. I want to take it out but I'm afraid of peeling parts of the picture away. Any ideas to help? Thanks

Hello Kathy!
There are two suggestions in this link that say you can use a hairdryer or put the glass into a freezer. There are also some suggestions for what to do so this doesn't happen again!

Place it in Freezer for an hour, wearing rubber gloves to protect hands in event glass breaks, remove photo and glass from the freezer, and open the paper, gently pull up on the corner of the photo, it should come away from the glass.
Hint: before you do ANYthing, take a picture of your picture in the glass and frame. Worse come to worse, you will have a copy of your NEW picture. Good luck.
Thank you for all the very helpful answers. I'm so appreciative of the time it took to read my question and send me the answers. It is an important picture to me and now I know how to save this treasure when I take it out and how to make sure it doesn't stick to the new frame. Thank you so much. Kathy Harley
