Yea ... but that's what I mean. It absolutely makes no sense to me. Most cameras in this country are 35mm format. That's 24mm x 36mm, 2:3 format just like most digital SLRs. That format has been the dominant one for 50 or 60 years at least. Why is it that they apparently can't understand that and make ready-made 8x12 paper and frames?

That said, there are two ready-made frame sizes I find to be good for 8"x12" prints. 14"x18" and 16"x20". The first gives you upto 3 inches for your matte border all the way around the image and the second gives you an even 4 inches.

Still, I think going with a custom frame for 8"x12" gives you the best look.
