mattlynda Diamond Enthusiast	Posted i have a framed print of an ansel adams photograph, and i love it to pieces. the problem is, the bottom got wet while in storage, and now theres a discoloured wrinkle along the bottom. is there anyway i can remove the wrinkle? i know the stain is there to stay, but at least smothing it out again would make me a little happier.

Posted Hide Post Lynda: Make sure you try this in the most inconspicuous part of the picture: Depending on the type of finish the print has, you could try pressing it from the back, with a "low", dry (no steam) iron, between pressing cloths (not bath towels). If there are no ill effects, and it doesn't quite get the wrinkles out, you might try it again at a slightly higher heat setting. If it has a glossy finish, this may not work so well. You might, also, try calling your local museum, to see if they might have some tips for you - at least, they might know where to direct you if they don't have restorers on site.
