How to Add More Mats to iPhoto

IPhoto is part of the iLife application suite that comes with every Mac computer.

Apple's iPhoto image viewing and organizing application has a number of features that go beyond those found in a traditional image management application. One such feature is the ability to edit the way an image is printed by adding borders, captions and mats. If you have images that have already been matted using an image editing application, you can add more mats to the image through the iPhoto application's "Print" screen.

Instructions

1. Click the "Finder" icon in the computer's dock, followed by the "Applications" folder icon. Double-click the "iPhoto" application icon to launch the application.

2. Click the "Photos" option beneath the "Library" heading. Double-click the photo that you want to add additional mats to.

3. Click the "File" menu and select the "Print..." option to open the "Print" menu.

4. Click the "Simple Mat" option in the left panel to apply an additional mat to the image. Click the "Double Mat" option in the left panel to apply two additional mats to the image.

5. Click the "Print" button to print the image with the additional mats.
