Not sure whether this is the right thread to place this in but can I ask what print sizes the members are submitting?
The reason for my question is that I have done some measuring and in a 40x50cm frame that we have for a painting on the wall at home, a 16 x21 cm print( allowing for the 2cm border all round) looks so tiny to me. Unless there were several other prints at the same size, a 16x21cm print will look somewhat dwarfed in my opinion but others who frame regularly and/or have seen such size prints exhibited in such size frames as will be used might know different. Unfortunately I cannot do bigger, having none of the equipment in terms of trays, easels etc. Thanks Mike |

Some people like to frame small prints in large frames - photographs and paintings. Especially effective if you can group a few together.
To scale: 16x21cm prints in 40x50cm frames... |

And, I should add, they will all look the same size in the book.

Thanks Bob. Your illustrations help and Dave, I must admit I had forgotten about the book

Just for a lark...
8x10 portrait format in 40x50cm frame. Max size (28cm x 37cm +2cm borders) in 40x50cm frame. |

I wish I could enter but my largest image sizes of my current work is 4x5inches (10cm x 12.5cm) although due to my coating method the border would be a little more probably... and actually at the moment I'm working mostly in 6cm x 9cm prints. I just don't contact print any bigger than that these days.

So... Something like this is okay?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/fishies...ok/3822982261/ Basically 4x5inch negative/image with a bit of sloppy painted edges and it's been squished into an 8x10inch frame for reference. I can definitely leave at least 1-2cm of white around for overmatting purposes... |

Of course, with hand-coated work there is the option to show the edge coating marks. |
