Hi Gordon - I seem to remember that if one presented a panel of thematic prints say to the Royal Photographic Society for an LRPS or ARPS, one of the things they insisted on was that the mounts were all identical - in my day 16" x 20" - the photographs on those mounts could vary but it was recommended they all be printed on the same size paper - say 18"x12" and if square - leave the white or black paper border on. If I am mounting and framing I usually use A3 size paper and frame. I create the border in photoshop as Black or White with a 5 pixel line separating the photo from the border. Occasionally I use a pale pastel colour instead of white - dependent on photo content. Does this help? It is a very personal choice.
