Mounting photos


On the 'old' forum I posted a request for advice on how to mount photos.

I remember the advice as being something like:

- prepare the mount ie the piece of mounting board with the hole cut out

- fasten the photo on to a complete, flat piece of mounting board such that when the mount is placed over it the image is in the correct place

- the photo should be fixed along the top edge only to allow for any expansion

- that 'backing' board should be same size as the mount

- join the two pieces of board by making a hinge of the top two edges so that the mount can (relatively) easily be changed if necessary

- use acid free materials

Some other points:

?is all mount board acid free or do you have to confirm that it is?

?do B&W images tend to look best on ice white,cream, black or any other colour?

?what other pointers would people suggest as a starter

Nb. I have a mount cutter but not actually used it yet (with angled and vertical cutter)
