Re: borders (on prints)

Hellena,

I much prefer prints made with a mask. Prints that have a sharp edged border and show no brush or over coating marks. This means most of the time I like a paper white boundary around the image, although at times I like a DMAX boundary, especially prints made from full frame large format negatives.

For work prints though I don't worry about the final presentation.
