The Photographers Secret Weapon - Picture Frame Mats
Picture frame mats are a wonderful way to make your framed photos look amazing. If you've never used mats before and want a way to make your pictures look even better, then you should start using picture frame mats. Picture frame mats add depth to your photo and can help accent specific colors to really showcase your artwork beautifully.
Mats are very versatile and make a big difference in the look of your framed piece of artwork.
What will a picture frame mat do for your photo? Here are three simple ways matting can make a difference with your photo:
- Mats can help in framing pictures or artwork in odd sizes
- Mats offer unique and different ways to show off your creativity
- Mats can help your photograph stand out
If you want to avoid the expense of a custom frame but have a picture or piece of artwork in a non-standard size, picture frame mats can solve your problem. A picture frame mat goes inside your frame, between the photo and the glass, and surrounds the photo like an inner frame giving it a professional finished look. The benefit of mats is that they can be cut to fit the size of any picture or piece of artwork. Picture frame mats can take any non-standard size picture and make it fit into a ready made standard sized frame, saving you the expense of a custom frame. Mats can be cut to fit any size frame, whether a ready made frame or custom frame and are the perfect way to enhance your picture or artwork.
Mats are also popular for displaying more photos in a smaller space like collage frames or other multiple opening frames like double or triple picture frames.
Personalization is another great benefit of picture frame mats. Mats are great for personalizing your picture frame with special messages, whimsical notes, drawings or even signatures. You can use mats for personalizing picture frames when displaying wedding photos, graduations, anniversary parties, vacations and just about any type of photo display.
Picture frame mats also allow you to express your creativity. Mats can be cut many different ways and are available in a wide variety of colors so you can create a truly stunning photo display. A mat will help set off frames in just about any color from white picture frames to black, blue or even red picture frames.
Besides adding to the eye appeal and personalization of your picture frame, mats can also help protect your artwork. Mats will protect your photos from touching the glass of the picture frame. This is very important because moisture exposure over time can cause your photo to stick to the glass and damage your photo. If you really want to save your picture and protect it for a long time, consider using conservation techniques by using archival mats and paper for framing. These types of archival products do not contain chemicals that would otherwise degrade your pictures over time.
With so many benefits, the only downside of picture frame mats is that it costs a little extra time and money to buy the mat. But even that is small as there are machine precut mats for common picture frame sizes that make mats very affordable and easy to find. A non-standard mat for a unique size, however, will require a little additional cost because it has to be hand cut but is almost always well worth it.
One thing to be aware of when using multiple picture mats is to avoid non-glare glass (also known as anti-reflective (AR) glass). If you use two or more mats with non-glare glass your photo may very well appear fuzzy or out of focus. The extra thickness of using multiple mats creates an extra distance between the non-glare glass and the photo causing the photo to look diffused.
So, remember these two helpful hints - use pre-cut mats to save money and never use non-glare glass when using more than one mat.
Once you try your first picture frame mat, youll be sure to love the look a mat can add to your favorite photo. No wonder picture frame mats are so popular by professional photographers -they really add a finished look to any picture. Hopefully this article has helped you see the benefit of picture frame mats and will encourage you to try using a mat with your next picture frame.
