Personally, I really like it when someone goes to the trouble of putting a nice frame around their fotos. Without the frame, it's as if you walk into a house and all the pictures are taped onto the walls, straight from the processers.
However, I will concede and drop the frames from further posts.
Am I the only one who finds this strange. The only thing that makes sens to me here about droping frames is that the space, or size of the foto is limited to 150k so from now on I'll drop the frames...
Cheers,

It's kind of funny, I was surprised to receive a comment that my current entry SHOULD have a frame and the voter was scoring down because of the lack of one. You never know around here! ;)

But remember, your photo is posted on a web site, not hung in a gallery. When you hang it in a gallery, a frame is critical. Here, it only takes pixels away from your content. It is possible to have a frame on a web print which adds to the picture, but in my experience (and IMHO), they're few and faaaaaar between.
Skip the frame, says me.

ttibby...If you like frames, by all means add them. However, when the frame area is larger than the photo area itself, then the frame tends to overpower the image a bit. I notice you like to put HUGE borders on your photos...try some smaller ones.
Maybe instead of putting 'frames' on them, try a 'border'. Just a few pixels wide would work in my opinion. |

I understand, I guess that I am stuck in the seventies, even though I was only 8 when they ended but I've taken the hint and as a musician I understand playing for the crowd so I will surpress my dire need for a strong frame and limit myself to a simple border. The effects of this will be twofold, it will allow for a bigger picture as the space is limited to 150k and will ease pressure from the BBB (Ban Big Borders) crowd (hee hee) Please don't misinterpret this post, there are absolutly no hard feelings and rest assured that even though I will omit frames here every time my screen saver kicks in I will get my fix of massive frames (hee hee),
I really like this online community,
Cheers,

Good frames are usually well-received here. I do have a pet peeve though for bad unnecessary gratuitous borders.
When adding a border, ask yourself 'If I was looking at this for the first time, would I notice the border?'
If the answer is 'yes', you have a bad border. |

Hmm, in my house all my prints actually are just stuck to the walls... is this a bad sign? :/

It's not my place to say if it's a good thing or a bad thing, it's just that it's not something that I would do. Then again, that my personal opinion.

Ttibby,
A strong, sharp frame can also accentuate any lack of sharpness in the photograph - the larger the frame, the more noticeable that is. I think that (as well as reducing the pixel count available for your image) your border in your construction shot only highlights the difference between a clear, sharp, crisp line and some of the slightly less crisp lines in your image that you might otherwise have gotten away with!
If I were to start adding borders to images, I would probably use ones similar to those used by Ed Clarke/e301, which I think tend to work quite well.
