Photography Question

What size to print


Okay crazy Question, but I just bought a 16 x 20 frame with an 11 x 14 opening which size do I print? Yep I'm confused as I haven't done any large prints and want to make sure I do the correct size since it's a gift and I don't want to mess up!! Thank you

  Dani,
It might sound like a crazy question at first, but it's really not.

You need to measure the opening in the mat to see exactly what it is. Hopefully, it's not exactly 11x14, but actually a little smaller. You want 1/8th inch or so overlap so the edges of the print don't show.

Then you can print an 11x14 and secure it to the mat with archival-quality tape or adhesive squares to keep it in place.
