I know it's pretty normal to have glass covering frames images, and in cheaper frames, horrible plexiglass stuff. Does anyone present images without the glass cover? Or is it a no-no??
I ask because recently I noticed an image that's been displayed for a while on our house and thought 'hmm, that photo looks better - I wonder if the glass has been dusted...' the colours were more saturated and there was tonnes of contrast. basically it looked way better. Turns out it had been dropped and the glass had broken. I'm surprised by how much image quality was lost through that glass. I think it's mostly glare from windows and lights etc. but we spend loads of money on lenses, cameras, PP and printing to maximise image quality and it seems weird that we then lose that with the glass we put over it.
Any thoughts?? I presume some glass is better than others... Is there any to avoid? Or just go 'naked'?
