Re: Mounting prints in an archival mat

2006-04-09 by how786

Ooooh! What a wonderful photo! I'd love to get a better view of it,

 1-Do you cut your own mats or are they available precut?
 2-What method do you use for centering?
 
 Thank you
  Howard

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
