When you have your pictures printed at a photography lab or studio, you are given the option to choose glossy or matte prints. While glossy prints have a slick and shiny finish that many people find visually appealing, others choose matte prints because they do not show fingerprints as easily. If you love the look of glossy photos but are concerned about fingerprints showing, use a PC graphics program such as Adobe Photoshop to give your pictures the illusion of glossy prints, even if the pictures are on matte paper.
