All good suggestions.

If mine come bent (which they often do because my mailman apparently can't read "Do Not Bend") I just put them in a frame. The fold will either flatten out, or be extremely hard to see.

Of course, let's say you don't want to frame it. Let's say you want to albumize (Is that a word :? ) them. The weight from the album pages should help to make the photo flat.

The heavy book idea is also good. However, you need to be careful when doing this. If the degree fold is to severe, then applying that kind of weight will cause the picture to crease which will make the photo be permanetly damaged.

As for the iron... I had never heard of the method, but it makes sense when you think about it.

Of course, the choice is entirely up to you.

I agree with Ian, Chrissie and Kelly

They should all work

Great suggestions :mrgreen:

Also, you could put the auto in a frame (behind glass) to flatten it out. Personally I would go with the heavy books idea though.

You can (if you are incredibly careful) iron the picture flat again.

To do this use a COOL iron, making sure you put thick white card either side of the photo first. This will work of the autograph is signed in marker (sharpie) NOT if signed in a metallic / silver / gold pen as the heat from the iron will melt the ink and it will smudge. Keep the iron moving, and check the picture regularly.

Obviously get an adult to help you do this if you are a youngster!

Hope this helps!

I just put tape on all 4 corners and hang it on the wall, eventually it wil flaten. Only do this if its a glossy photo though, or else you'll ruin it.
