Then I place the mount over to check the alignment by eye. Sometimes it needs to be a few millimetres away from the lines but once I have established that I remove the mount and tape to the back board (using the lines to make everything parallel).<BR/><BR/>Like everything in this process, you get it wrong the first few times but eventually it comes easier.<BR/><BR/>HTH<BR/>ChrisChris Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477371787636884460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305559788664993980.post-31686607784544599952007-12-11T01:52:00.000+00:002007-12-11T01:52:00.000+00:00Hi Chris,Many thanks for your helpful tutorial on ...Hi Chris,<BR/>Many thanks for your helpful tutorial on matting. But I do have one sticky point. I know how to cut both the outside and inside matts. And, I know how to cut the bottom layer foamboard. But what I do have trouble with is centering the photo on the foam board in preparation for taping. It's the centering that I have difficulty with....there's got to be an easier way. <BR/>hope to hear from you.<BR/>chetChethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03017546279619458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305559788664993980.post-13221116641500255332007-10-11T07:06:00.000+00:002007-10-11T07:06:00.000+00:00Thanks Beau - glad you found it usefulThanks Beau - glad you found it usefulChris Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477371787636884460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305559788664993980.post-10507076918587252412007-10-10T15:49:00.000+00:002007-10-10T15:49:00.000+00:00Great series of articles.
