Beware the full sized file: it's 1Mb large!

This is a tutorial about choice of a border/mat for a photograph. It also explains how to add a border with Photoshop. Parts:
1. Mood -- adding a border in order to emphasize the mood of your picture
2. a Missing Tone -- for photographs with mainly extreme black and white, or no black at all, or no white at all etc
3. Pushing it forward/backwards -- using a basic rule of composition
4. Shape -- most useful and most difficult criterion
5. a Detailed Example

Pictures used as examples:
1. [link] 2. [link] 3. [link] 4. [link] 5. [link] 6. [link]

I just wanted to write a tutorial, and since I consider borders as a very useful tool - here it is! Hope it's useful :giggle:
