Total Control

If you want complete control of the size and appearance of your mats, this is the action set for you. It contains actions which can create virtual chiseled and simple mats for your high-resolution or websized photographs, with cores in colors of your choosing. Choose textured or plain mats.

These actions provide you with excellent flexibility: you control the size and proportions of your mats. You can make your mat wider on any side to leave room for text or to "fill out" the proportions to fit a standard size, such as 8 x 10 or 11 x 14.

To provide this control, the actions stop for your input.

• Asymmetrical mats, leaving room for text
• Mats "filling" out to a standard size
• Tiny Mat
• Any combination you want
• Mats (with or without texture) with cores optimized for dark colors
• Mats (with or without texture) with cores optimized for light colors
• Mats (with or without texture) where you choose the core color
