It's been many years now but someone brought in a oval convex glass mounted print. I'm certain it was the most expensive way back then. It was also welded into the glass. Our idea was to just make a copy photo, but the convex glass picked up all the reflections from 180 degrees around. We finally resorted to having an airbrush artist work on all those reflections. I still wouldn't have any better recommendations, except PhotoShop.
If you ever have to do that again put lights on each side at 45 degrees with a polarizing filter on each oriented the same way and then put a polarizing filter on your camera and dial away most if not all the reflections. With this setup you can control reflections on all sorts of surfaces including metal.

Kodak makes a product called Photoflow. Soak the print and glass in Photoflow and it will separate.
The Photoflow always worked for me back when I was in business. Don't get in a hurry and let it soak overnight it needed. Do not try to pull it off let it flow off into the Photoflow solution. Rinse it after it is off with water and dry it between two towels with a little weight on them to make sure it drys flat.

Greatest thing about this lady is no ink to distract the way her skin looks.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how to do that. Have seen directions but quite complicated. Is there a simple way to find them?
My plugins are located at the bottom of the filters. That is where they loaded when I installed the program.

I got PSE 2021 several months ago and I really like it. I have had no problems with it and use it instead of Lightroom or Photo shop. It is all I need for what I do 95% of the time plus some and much easier to use.

My dad had given me other cameras but my first purchase on my own was a Nikon "F" with a FTN meter and F2 50mm lens fifty years ago and I still have it and it looks like new.
I have owned a D80 and D90 for my first digital cameras. I have also owned a D600 and currently own a D7000, D810 and D500 with a Z6ii on order.
Needless to say I am a Nikon fan.

Looks like my first camera which was the same which I got in 1968. I also still have mine and it works great. Use all the lenses I got then and the next two years. All are still working fine. Have a D60 and D7000 also point and shoot cameras now almost all the time.

Linda I enjoyed the link. Not being any good with computers I have not been able to find the file I need on this new Windows 10 system I have. Will have to do some more learning of Windows 10 but I am really stubborn so I will keep working on this.

I did check out the thread you suggested and will try it. There are several of the shy images in the selections that I will not likely use so replacement will be OK. Thanks again for your help. UHH always comes to the rescue.

Thanks for your reply. I know how to replace the sky using layers it is not difficult but I also like the replacing the sky in the Guided Edits. I use the sky images in it but would like to use my own sky images in many of my photos. I know you can import your own sky images in PS but I have not found a way to do this in PSE 2021. I don't have PS and really don't need it. I can do all that I need to do in PSE 2021 which is what I use. It is just so much faster and easier with the Guided Edits than using layers for sky replacement.

Both Photoshop 2021 and Luminar 4 offer very good sky replacement features. Both come with stock sky photos, or you can use your own images and import them. Luminar has a free trial so maybe download that program and give the sky replacement a try and see what develops! 
You said you can import your own images in 2021 but how do you do that. I have tried and failed what am I doing wrong? I really would appreciate your help. I really like the PSE 2021 program.

I still have the set I bought in the early 70's and they still work great. You do have to know how to set up and do need a flash meter but they are very dependable. The firing voltage is a definite concern but a Wein Hot shoe Safe Sync will take care of that problem. I still like my old Sunpack flash and use the same Sync for it also. Used properly you have complete control of your lighting every time and know exactly what you are getting. That was necessary back in film days. You could not a shoot dozens of exposures on most jobs: just not cost effective.

Like the looks of your assistant more than most of the ladies you post. Best thing about her is the no ink all over her body; a body which is very nice and pleasing to the eye.

Awesome as are all the images you have posted. I like it in both color and B&W. Oil tinted back in the time I was in business but the few times I have tried digital coloring it just did not look at all right. Not sure we have people today that would be willing to do what our ancestors did.

A bit, but the Graflex is all metal.

I did use one back many years ago when I was in business but have not used mined for many years now. I still have one with the 47mm lens, 120 back and ground glass viewfinder back. I do have a slight problem; the focus ring pegs are worn off and I have not been able to find another intact ring. This was a common problem with the XL's.
