"I taken my color picture this isn't what we talked about earlier this is one that I happen to need to do. I mounted it to my foam core. My foam core is a piece of slick paper on both sides and foam in the middle and that is why they call it foam core. It's fairly durable, it holds and supports your matte well. I cut some matte for it. I'm going to put some ATG down which is double sided tape made by 3M. There are not many people out there but 3M that makes that stuff and then I'm going to mount my matte to my picture. If you'll notice, that the most color is green the second most color is the skin tone and the third most color in here is yellow. That is what made me chose the yellow matte."
