Digital BW, The Print

Ok thanks.  Here is what I am thinking.  I am generally trying to find a
dimension mix that will fit one of framedestination.com's standard sizes.  I
think this is the best I can come up with with "rational" dimensions:

20x26 frame with exact opening of 11.75x17.75 inches.  4in 8 ply window mat.
Actual image is 10.35x16.75in (1.6181818 Fibonacci ratio - err not 35mm
dimensions but at least it has a story and looks excellent for most
landscapes) printed on 13x19in paper (5/8in overlap).  That leaves a top,
left and right border of 1/2in and a bottom border of 0.9in.  Hopefully that
will be sturdy enough - I really don't like the way the reflection of
glazing detracts from the whole image (and non-reflective glazing is very
expensive).

Thanks for all the help.
