photo albums had chemicals that could degrade photos. The article said
you should look for PVC/acid-free protective sleeves.
Does the same type of thing apply to the glass on picture frames? I

There seems to be a little confusion in the minds of some as to what a
photograph (photo)actually is and where the use of Photoshop can result in
an end product that is not a photograph even though photographs may have
been used to create the result.

A European photo magazine ran a poll on film vs. digital capture. It
