Photo stuck to glass in frame

[Sir Bagalot]

We have a wedding photo in a frame that is stuck to the glass. Not really a problem.

Until of course the frame got knocked over and the glass smashed. Now it's a problem

So. Any tips on how to unstick the picture from the glass?

I'd put it in the freezer for a while then remove it and warm it with a hairdryer.

Mmm, I'd put it in a bath of lukewarm water, soak it for a while, then peel it off slowly.

In my experience prints are not waterproof! - the emulsion will turn to jelly.

A carefully applied razor blade perhaps?

If it's a chemical print (ie pre-digital) then washing in water (or sometimes fixer, but that is water based) is the final part of the printing process. Have unstuck stuck chemical prints by soaking them several times. If it's a digital print, then dunno. Not sure if they are waterproof or not.
