Are you talking about decoupage? I use a mixture of plain white glue and water.

  I'd start with maybe 3:1 glue to water and eyeball it. You don't want it too funny and thin and you don't want it too thick, either. I just buy plain white glue from my local dollar store.

I've used spray glue for photos. It comes in permanent or adjustable/removable. I've bought it at Walmart, Michael's, and general art stores. The glue sticks well and does not bleed through the photo paper to harm the image.

I would research E6000 it should be safe for photos and will work adhere on the wood.

I've used modge podge to adhere picture to tiles. For the smaller tiles I'll modge podge pics to them & super glue magnets to the back. Or, I'll buy larger tiles and modge podge pictures to them and use them for coasters.
