<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 303191, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> You can flatten curled and folded photos. I use a plastic shoe box put a plastic screen on three or four plastic spools about 1" high. Add some water place the photo on the screen do not let the water touch the photo and place the lid on every 1/4 hour remove the lid and see if the photo has flattened. You do not want the water to condensate on the lid and drip on the photo. Usually it takes an hour or so to soak the paper backing. Lift the photo out and and place it on some absorbent white paper and put a weight on it. It will dry and flatten out.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
