The
trick is to use a nice premade frame, not a cheap piece of junk. And
using a matt finish paper will help, so the white around the edges of
the
photo looks more like mattboard and isn't shiny.



A great place to pick up cheap frame is the local goodwill type store.
most
have a huge stock of used frame, many of which are of good quality. I
picked up a dozen or so yesterday and spent about $25.

A place I recenlty found to mount and frame photos is the local craft
store.
They have supplies to mount and frame your photos, make your own matte,
etc.

I only found out about this because I was looking for foam board to
mount photos on. The craft store has all the framing supplies for the
do-it-yourselfer to matte, mount and frame a photo.

This may help if you are attempting to frame odd size prints like 11x17
or 13x19 (Ink Jet Prints).
