How To: Mounting Photo in Frame?

[RoRoCo]

Thanks guys! I highly recommend AmericanFrame.com...great product and cheap.

One last question...if you guys don't mind:

Is there anything better than acid free tape to mount the pics? I would love a tacky like glue to use to get a better more secure finish

I prefer the tape and use it like a hinge. The print can expand/contract at a different rate than the matte or backing, so glue can cause it to buckle. Plus tape is a lot easier to get past if you ever want to remove the print. If you are on a budget, you can use the same frame and rotate the print every couple of months.

holy F those images look great framed!

I am actually in the process if ordering prints/getting frames for a whole bunch of photos that I intend on decorating my house with, and the info in this thread and the other one mark linked to was great. So thanks a lot Mark (and Roroco, cause the advice wouldn't have come if you hadn't asked the question).

Thanks guys...I am ordering set two now...

I'll let you know how the turn out.

Set two...

How do you guys feel about series placed like this? I alway put art work at eye level, but this seems a bit more "flowing".

Sorry about the camera flash being visable...I didn't take my time on this shot.

Works for me! Sometimes using the space is more important than optimum viewing height.
