FAQs & Answers

  1. Why does the photo appear smaller when placed in an 8x10 frame? Frames often have a lip or edge that overlaps the photo slightly, causing the visible image to appear smaller than the paper size.
  2. What is matting and why should I use it with an 8x10 picture? Matting is a border placed between the photo and frame that can prevent the frame’s lip from covering the edges, ensuring the entire 8x10 picture is displayed.
  3. Can I use a different size frame for my 8x10 photo? Yes, you can use larger frames with mats cut to 8x10 to highlight your photo without cropping or covering it.
