Remember one more thing that if you are thinking about placing your picture in the frame for a longer period then do make use of a plastic spacer or a mat-board for avoiding the photo from getting stuck to the glass which will prevent your picture from getting damaged.

Be versatile with your mat-boards, try and use different color combinations on images and go for certain decorative cuts ranging from rectangular cutouts to ovals, arches, etc which will eventually add that extra something to your picture. You can make use of certain other picture cutouts on your images. Make use of a standard clear glass as it will provide clarity to your picture and it is considered to be the best as well but if you place such a picture in direct sunlight it will be difficult for you to view the picture because of reflection caused by the clear glass.

One more important consideration on your part should be that you should go for conservation framing which involves the use of acid-free materials be it the mat-boards, backing or the mounting materials which will help in preserving your picture for a long time to come.
