I have some photos that I am very proud of, and would like to hang them around the house.
Most of my photos are not standard frame sizes, so I will have to mount them myself.
Anyone knows of a good website or any tips on how to mount photos?
I print my photos on HP premium glossy photo paper with HP inkjet 5550 printer. Cheers!

Yes. I've ordered 3 custom frames with pre-cut custom matting from www.pictureframes.com. I was very happy with them. They hang in my living room.

Just mount them on board I hang them.
Matt & hang them
Frame them
Matt & frame them

I produce 8x10 inkjet prints, but I do them on 8.5x11 paper, and I leave some odd margins.
Then I put each behind matting with 8x10 window and 11x14 outside, and then that is fixed into position (depending on how I want to crop it behind the matting).
Then that is stuck onto white foamboard with spray adhesive.
VOILA!
Labels are placed on the back of the foamboard with Title, Index Number, Location, Photographer, and Copyright.
Then those can be placed into any standard 11x14 frame. Standard size frames are a lot less hassle than custom frames.
