If you want to drop about a hundred bucks a sheet for it you could use something like Denglas or Tru Vue: http://www.denglas.com/prod/framing/antireflective.html In my short framing career I had the pleasure of using it exactly once, and the stuff is pretty amazing. It practically disapears. A more practical alternative might be one of the acrylic glazing products like ACRYLITE, I think it has less of a color bias than the cheap glass does, and has the advantage of not breaking (though it is harder to keep clean without scratching it). The only adjusting I do is to adjust myself to that fact that I can't afford the good stuff... if I'm going to spend crazy money on glass, it's going to be to hang on the front of my camera. -Jason --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, Douglas Meeuwsen <lipshurt@m...> wrote: > I was just having a heck of a time trying to get two prints to match > tone.
