photo stuck to glass?

I have several photos in frames, that are stuck to the glass. I would like to try to save these, however, I am not able to spend the money for "restoration". Is there any hope for me??

Thank you.

Although the above idea is a good one, there maybe be just enough moisture in the frame and the photo itself this is the key to the answer.Placing the frame over a heated radiator let the whole frame heat and the glass heat up then slowly start to peel one corner. I have actually tried this method. Also remember the photo's will be still have moisture on the surface so do not try to touch the photo but let it dry in a warm room.. I would recomend as correctly stated in the first answer, and get them scanned (if u own a scanner) or a shop in town will scan them for you, they charge smg like 20p a pic or smg like that.
If you need to use reuse the glass from the frame then clean it firstly with a kitchen towel and methalated spirits, let it dry and the polish off with glass cleaner.
This is how i did mine and it worked a treat because there was initially enough moisture in the frame and the glass to create the steam.
Good luck with your photo's

you could try gentle steeming or better still scan them into the computer and reprint
