Instructions on How To Save Water Damaged Photos
Photos must still be wet To save water damaged photos. If your lucky you may be able to salvage your pictures.The important thing is do not let the photos dry out. As your photographs dry, they may have water stained and they will stick to each other or the glass that they are in contact with, and you will not be able to remove them without causing more damage. When a photograph is developed the last step the photographer performs is the wash, with water.
So gently rinse your photos in water use the bottom of your fingers to very gently rub to clean the photo in a try of water, do not use a brush or cotton or anything else so it will not scratch the emulsion, use only your hand because this way you can feel if the emulsion is comming off, which may happen very rarely, if it is you may not be able to save your photo to the same condition it was before.
Now remove your photographs from the water, one at a time.
