fcgamer | 5,020 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Does anyone here know anything about matting pictures / art? Are there any general standards to be followed regarding mat size and image size? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulpa | 3,746 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) It depends on the image and frame. You want a balance between frame, mat, and image/art/document so that one doesn't overwhelm the other two. Documents like diplomas will generally have a larger frame and mat vs a picture or artwork. Posters, IMO, shouldn't use mats and use a minimal frame, though there are exceptions. Here's a decent rundown. https://www.framedestination.com/blog/mat-board/proper-mat-size-for-matting-an-image Edited June 7, 2022 by Tulpa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,171 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Yes, my dad owned a photography company for 30 years. I've seen how custom matting is done and can probably answer any question you'd ever have with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
