How do you feel about coating prints that *are* destined to be hung behind
glass? Is it still a worthwhile venture, or does the added dmax go unnoticed
because of the added dmax from the glass, and is the added dmax further
mitigated by yet another glare causing surface? IOW, I understand the
benefits of coating a print for display as opposed to using glass, but if
glass is a given, would you personally still coat the print?
