Video Transcript

"Now we are going to talk about different types of matte boards. The most popular size in what you would usually use for most projects would be a thirty-two by forty. There is a forty by sixty for larger prints or pictures and also have a forty-eight by ninety-six which is used for special museum pieces for very large projects. They are also different textures, different colors, different types. Here we have it is like a suede material and that is of course much extra lines. There is different prices with different types of mattes. This is, here is a regular card matte it has a white card to it. Also they have different colors coarse. What we have here is a purple matte with a black and also a black with a black card. So as you cut your bebbled edge in the middle what would really show is this here being purple is you see the black edge as you cut it. It makes very nice frame or picture that you are using. But actually when you are using different colors or when you are going to pick out different colors mattes you take the prints that you are going to use and a lot of time you might want to go with something like the blue here. There is a little bit of blue in here not a lot. But it will help bring out the color in the print if you were to pick maybe blue you can see here that is does help bring out the color somewhat. This is the board I'm going to use so you would see when the picture is done how it tends to bring out the lighter blue colors in the print. "
