Before he died, one of my father's hobbies was repairing damaged old books and pictures. In his box of bits and pieces he had several rolls of black or dark red gummed paper tape which was embossed to make it look like leather grain. He called it passepartout, and of course that's what I thought the word meant. I stll have some of it, which I use for binding the music scores I print.
Then a short while ago Orio used the word to refer to the card insert with cut-out window that goes between a picture and the glass in a frame. This was new to me so I checked on Wikipedia and in fact both meanings are correct.
THIS is real passepartout:

In my opinion photographs look 100 times better with a passepartout, although it is fairly more expensive to frame them that way, I think it's really worth it. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Keeping the print away from the glass seems a pretty good idea to me, and well worth the cost of the passepartout I should think.
Now my wife has seen the final version she wants me to get a professional print and have it framed! |

I'd either go with a white frame with a thin black line around the pic, or a black one with a thin golden line just a few pixels away from the picture...
Very nice shot btw. _________________ ---

No reason to be embarrassed Bill. We're all at some stage of learning, nobody knows everything.
Out of interest is there a special method for frames that you've just learnt? I just create various layers of different sizes/colours/effects and put them in the right order. |

Peter, nothing as sophisticated as that. What I do in PSE 4.0 is hit the
resize button for canvas, choose how large I want the border, choose
color, and I'm there. There are some layers (bevels) that I like to use
occasionally, like on the Mimicry thread. They are very easy where you
just click on the style you want and click OK for the layer and you're done.
Stuff like what you're doing and Attila, is still a work in progress...
