Passe-Partout

The Passe-Partout effect allows you to apply a mat or a cardboard for mounting and framing your digital pictures. It creates margins around the image enhancing its visual appeal.

Using the passe-partout jointly with the Classic Frame has a truly powerful impact on a viewer. The frame options are shown on a separate tab.
