Thanks for the tips!

I just ordered a few prints and I was wondering about the framing. This tutorial is going to be handy (I'll let you know if it's possible to do it while wearing gauntlets ;-) )

Would this be a good time to ask for a review of the various LCD photoframes available?

How about supplementing this with a page on how to create such borders, including 3d bevel cut edge effects, using Photoshop and adding them to an image to be printed?

Great article, but I'd appreciate some help on size. Am I right in thinking that if I have an A4 picture that I'd like a border around, I'll need to buy a frame a couple of inches bigger than A4? Or do frame sizes already assume a border?

Excellent examples/tutorial. Framing and displaying hard copy in general is something of a lost art, so great to see something like this.

@Marco - It all depends on how you want to show your final image to be honest. In Cliff's example he has mounted the image in a cardboard mount as well as a frame. This not only looks very nice and neat, but means that you have the option of mounting virtually any actual print size into any frame size (assuming the frame is a little bit bigger of course). This avoids expensive bespoke frames and allows for buying standard sizes from Ikea/Habitat etc etc.

The internal dimensions of the frame need to be the same as the external dimensions of the mount. As regards the actual print then this needs to be at least a little bigger than the hole in the mount, as there needs to be at least a little overlap. Hope that may help at least a little?

Cliff: Can you help us find alternative framing ideas that are inexpensive, yet attractive and innovative? Perhaps an idea that uses mat board only, .....I wish to create a photo/picture wall with something other than ordinary framing.

Dear Cliff and Trusted Review, it's nice to have this kind of articles once a while... I would consider this as free "consumer/customer education program" .... look forward for more of such articles in the future... all the best.

Tony - Yes it would. We've already done several, and I'm trying to get some Sony frames in at the moment.

NickP - If I can think of a way of doing that which doesn't look horrible I'll givie it a try.

Marko - An A4 frame is the same size as A4 paper, so if you have an A4 print you'll need a slightly bigger frame to leave a border.

Daniel - Something I once tried for a presentation was to take a picture of a strip of slide film complete with sprocket holes, then enlarge the picture in photoshop up to the width of A4 paper, replace the pictures on the film with the pictures for the presentation, and then print it out on a series of A4 sheets. When stuck together in a row it looked like a giant strip of slide film.

John - I've written a lot of tutorials which you may enjoy, but they can be a bit hard to find on TR's index. I've put a separate index on my own site at www.cliffsmith.co.uk. Click on the Tutorials link at the top of the page.
