Re: [Digital BW] album sleeves ???

2007-06-20 by alistair_owens

Debbi, when I first suggested dry mounting I just meant the old style 
archival photo albums that have black or white pages. Apart from 
some  type of tissue paper between the pages to prevent facing photos 
sticking together, the image is not viewed through any covering and 
thus can be seen in all its glory. 

The term dry-mount refers to the fact that the photo is attached to 
the page using some form of dry (and detachable) adhesion. I either 
use corners (which can look rather good) or a removable adhesive 
patch called "Magic Dots". 

An image presented in this way in a good quality album with plenty of 
space surrounding it, while not quite as good as matt-mounted, does 
present the image well.

Hope that makes sense.

regards

Alistair
