Limits & Guidelines

Important Considerations

Framing mechanics.

Overall Dimension Expansion

Adding an external frame increases the total pixel dimensions of the image canvas by the specified border margin width.

Aspect Ratio Alteration

Adding asymmetrical polaroid-style bottoms alters the original aspect ratio; ensure framed dimensions match your intended photo frame or print card.
