Debbie - facing the same problem, and being unwilling to compromise 
on my framing or cropping, I simply started cutting my own mats. I 
just buy standard frames that assure I will have at least 2.5 - 3 
inches of mat around my image and I can make the openings any 
proportion I want, including panoramas, and still use standard 
frames. It also gives me the flexibility to have the mat overlap the 
image slightly, or to allow approximately a half to 3/4 inch of paper 
showing inside the mat, so I can sign the actual picture, without 
doing it inside the image area.
