I almost always use matte...cuts down on glare

thanks - do you notice the glare when it's under glass?

yes, sometimes I do. I prefer matte for everything...I think it makes the photo more attractive, but I guess it's a matter of preference.

I've always preferred matte for my 4 x 6 & 5 x 7's (they don't show the fingerprints) ~ I just didn't know if larger ones should be done a certain way.

I definitely think you'll see the glare under glass. In fact, I know you will -- unfortunately!

I always use the matte finish; and also use non-glare glass. I think it makes the photograph look richer.:D
