Picture Frame Designer
The only measurements required in this section are the Height & width. If a mount is added in this section the system will subtract 8mm from the width & height Measurment entered in step one. This is done so when the opening in the mount is cut , the opening will be 8mm Smaller than your picture / image size. This in turn makes the opening sit just over your picture / image by 4mm all around and will guarentee a perfect fit.
Note - If you add a mount in this section and you require the opening to be an exact size add 8mm to the height and width measurment, this will cancle the automatic deduction

How a frame is measured for size
The size of a Picture Frame is the size of the item that fits into it - if you have an Item that measures 30cm x 40cm The size of frame to order is 30cm x 40cm - You will then get a frame to fit an Item 30cm x 40cm.
Picture frames have a rebate
Depending on the rebate width of the selected frame, the viewing area will be Approximatly 10mm smaller than the Picture / image size - the edges of the Picture / image will sit just behind the rebate by approximatly 5mm all around the edge of the Picture / Image . This is perfectly Normal and industy standard.
