Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
Eric mentioned edge effects and it's something I've experimented with a bit, but never exhibited in a show.

I've tried painting a mask onto some A4 paper, scanning it and then overlaying it so that the  photo looks painted on - digital 'liquid emulsion.'

But I've had less good results with creating really effective sloppy borders. Has anyone found good ways to do this? Sometimes they can look great.

Most edge effects actions etc I've seen have been awful phony frames.

Richard
