| I’m getting emails about Steve’s page display problem, but unfortunately they’re not appearing here in the forum, so we can’t have a conversation about them. As for the deckle edge thing, I have skillions of family photos from when I was a kid and they have deckled edges from the company that printed them (presumably Kodak). They’re b&w. The color ones largely don’t have the deckled edge. I also have a special metal ruler which creates deckled edges by dragging the slightly damp paper the image is printed on over the edge of the metal strip. I used it for a small line of images I was mounting on black mat board before framing. I found it worked OK, but by using a Q tip to really wet the paper and letting the damp strip sit for a moment or two I then could gently slide the paper apart and I would get a true deckle instead of the curvy thing the commercial printer cut the sheets with. I am quite certain the curvy fake deckle is simply a die cutter which severed each print as it came off the drier in the lab.
