Use steam.
Get a splatter screen and a large sauce pan. Place enough water in the sauce pan to provide steam for about 20 minutes. Place the photo with the back side down over the steam source on top of the splatter screen..........do not let water splatter up on the photo. Let the steam work on low/simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Gently lift the photo from the glass while it is still hot. The glass will get hot. Handle with care do not cool rapidly else the glass may shatter. Use soft gloves and when photo is removed place on a dry and flat surface allow it to dry for 24 hours.
Weigh down the edges to prevent curling up as it dries.

Martha Stewart suggests using waxed dental floss on her site. You slowly work the photo free by gently sawing back and forth with the floss between the photo and glass. I wouldn't recommend the soaking method as you can definitely water stain a photo, especially if it is on certain types of photographic paper.

A Yahoo search for "photo conservation" (include the quotation marks in the search box) yields 1,420 results. If you do the same search, and are willing to spend a little time exploring, I'm sure that you will quickly find the information you seek. There are many excellent websites, some with specialized reader forums, that will provide the information you want.
Good luck with your search.
