Taking a photograph is only half the battle; presentation is also a key element of any successful photograph. Framing and matting prints is one of the best ways of showing off your work. QuickMats is a new software program that simulates actual physical mats, either onscreen or in a print. Digital Outback Photo have published a review of QuickMats, which retails for $239.

“There is now a matting solution which will not require you to either go to a frame shop or have contact with any matting materials or matting tools whatsoever. This solution is called QuickMats, a program created by John Hartman. QuickMats relies on an arsenal of Photoshop files, actions, textures, etc. to create professional looking mats which, visually, are undistinguishable from the “real” thing.”
