Yikes, I am trying to frame a large photograph and have to leave in one hour to deliver it. I have forgotten which side of the non-reflective glass touches the photograph - orange peel effect or smooth?

Help!:help::help:
 
From what I remember the smooth side

That's my thought too. I have just googled it and read that anti-glare glass has it's outside surfaced etched. So I think I will go with that. Phew thanks Dave.
 
No Problem, I started to doubt myself after posting so I have been googling as well.
 
Thanks Ven. I have just got back and the customer is really pleased with it. This was the portrait of 36 family members (with famous Int. Rugby star - Gilly's bragging). I evenually cropped it to a letterbox shape of 26"x13" and double mounted it and framed it. The customer is the chairman of a golf course and he asked me if I do landscapes. I had to think on my feet .... are they pictures with hills in and sea and sand and stuff. Never done that, so I said yes. Doh! I feel another thread coming on. How do you take landscapes of golf courses :lol:
 
:lol: ... perhaps he meant as opposed to portrait ... :thinking: ... layout that is ... :D

The best time to these would be at dawn or dusk when there is a low sun causing plenty of shadows on the undulations.

Have a look at this site, his work is pretty good, also check the golfing magazines at Smiths as they often have some inspirational images.

Aw! Geez thanks Colin. Wow, there are some nice images on that site.
 
I know it's been sorted now but.......
Anti Reflective glass has a blueish pink sheen to the surface, that goes on the outside, good quality A/R glass is coated on both sides.
Non Glare/Anti Glare glass has a fuzzy finish to it, and should be facing the outside.
Anti Newton Ring glass is similar to a/g glass, but the etch is finer. The etched side goes on the inside preventing anti newton rings from appearing on gloss prints, (not a problem if a raised mount is used).
Some glass can have a UV inhibitor in it to help with ptint longevity.
When colour is critical, lead glass can be used as it has no green cast like normal glass.

I love glass, me:lol:
