How to Fake Full-Frame Photos ~ Enhance Photography Skill

French photographer Cartier-Bresson felt the only valid photograph was one that was perfectly composed at the time of exposure. He began the trend of printing photographs "full frame," going so far as to file out negative carriers so that a small amount of blank film all around the negative would show, becoming an irregular black border around the final print. This stylized look became popular for the way a full-frame image is set off from clean, white paper surrounding it. Although contemporary digital single-lens reflex cameras don't produce a negative, there are ways to simulate the effect.

Instructions

Evaluate the aspect ratio of your image. Aspect ratio is a comparison of the short side of an image to its long side. The most common ratio used is from 35 mm film, which uses a negative that is 24-by-36 mm, or a ratio of 2:3. To illustrate, we will consider the full-frame effect will be printed on an 8-by-10 inch sheet of paper, which has a 4:5 ratio. The image and the full-frame border effect has to be printed within the 8-by-10 inch area, preferably with white space on all sides.

Calculate your image size. Let's decide to leave a minimum 1/2-inch border, printing in landscape (horizontal) orientation. Subtracting 1 inch from the paper length, for a 1/2-inch border on each side, means the image length will be 9 inches. Applying the 2:3 ratio determines that the image width will be 6 inches.

Resize your image to 6-by-9 inches in your imaging software. In Photoshop, for example, select "Image" from the toolbar, then "Image Size..." from the drop-down menu. Selecting a "Document Size" of 9 inches wide with the "Constrain Proportions" box checked will re-size a full-frame DSLR properly. Other imaging software will have similar steps. You can crop an area of your image, but keep the 2:3 aspect ratio in mind as you do.

Copy the image and paste it on a new canvas that is 8-by-10 inches. Adding a black stroke effect, 8 to 10 pixels wide, approximates the blank film printed around a full-frame negative. However, this will not effectively fake the true effect.

Locate or purchase a full-frame print border image (an example is included in the Resources section) to re-size around your photograph. Add this image as a layer on your 8-by-10 inch canvas, between the background and the image layer. Adjust the size of the border layer to fit around the image. Your image is ready to print.
