Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
depends on what kind of a look you're going for!. you can either just mount from the back, or you can mount on the back and put a frame on top!. also, in order to not look tacky, a neutral color for whatever you end up mounting the photo on (matboard, foam core, wood, etc!.)!.

try a matboard, in black, white or a greyish tone!. usually you use a thicker board for the back and thinner for the front!. it's more difficult to cut and measure your own, so you should probably buy a pre-cut mat!.

however, just be sure that when you mount, if you don't want to put on a frame and you want borders, float the picture a little higher on the page, rather than directly centered!. This is better for presentation purposes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
