A glossy finish will have an ultra-smooth, shiny appearance that makes images appear colour-rich and vibrant. most venerable to fingerprint this should be handled very little and hung in a picture frame.
Luster photo prints are a hybrid of glossy photo prints and matte photo prints. Luster photo prints have rich color saturation that gives a vibrant color finish and, like matte photo prints, they are not vulnerable to fingerprints, whereas glossy photo prints are prone to fingerprints.

what size is best?

ALL sizes are in Inches so get out your grandmas old yardstick and measure it out! now remember unless you are getting a frame that has no boarders account for an extra 1.5-5 inches extra.
