I generally like buying frames and mats in bulk but I have a hard time visualizing which mat/frame combinations would look best. Anybody have a favorite site or app that lets you preview what things would look like? I imagine this is going to be some online frame shop's tool but hopefully they won't mind if I don't end up buying the framed print through them :-)
I have to say for visualizing an image in a frame the Frame Explorer embedded in the now free Picture Window Pro is quite good. Images of the left side of frames can be added too to the library. I see crop guide lines resulting from the frame and matte choices appear in the original image window too but can not activate it as a real crop. Might need more experience. However the latest Qimage Ultimate, on the fly, non-destructible, crop tool launched from the print preview is easier with the right border settings. Which reminds me that I asked Mike years ago for a frame + mat visualization feature that also exports mat etc sizes. Given the border tools with sizes and colors it needs some additions but not much.
Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst
