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.

Adjust the parameters of the effect:

Size (1-100). The parameter changes the width of the passe-partout.

Size = 20

Size = 60

Bevel Depth (0-100). The parameter sets the thickness of the border cutting line (in % of the general passe-partout width).

Bevel Depth = 10

Bevel Depth = 45

Color. You can select the mat and bevel colors in the color plates.

Blue Mat

White Bevel

Scale Image to Frame. When the check-box is enabled, the image is scaled to fit the frame. When the option is disabled, the frame applies over the image.

Attention! A part of the image will be cropped to keep the aspect ratio.
