Generally speaking, cleaning and preserving a photo only helps the value. I know one board member always gets his high end (and he has the highest end there is) photos de-acidified and cleaned when he gets them. But posting a picture, as suggested, should elicit more expert opinions. I am not a photo expert but have dabbled.
