Hi there, ...

another query for me today...

I have to scan a very old and precious pic to do a poster with it,... there are some paint dust that I easily can PS, but 10% of the base of the pic shows a sort of silver emulsion,... I tried water one a very little part and it worked !! But I'm affraid chlore, or other acid things will attack the pic itself,...

What do I have to use,... demineralized water or what ?

Anyone?

Thanks already.

ps: will ask 'bout scan methods later....
