Sorry no disrespect :) but i am sure you know what i mean, more silicon per square mile than any where else in Oz which in its self is not a issue but when they belong to the over 50 crew its not a good look, i used to go surfing alot at Kirra be4 the surf nazi,s took over even worked at the Bombay Rock back in the day. Like the whole of our eastern seaboard its just lost alot of what it was best example has to be Byron Bay. :? This print would make a great poster for Billabong tho :ziggi:

Hand deckled refers to to the edges of the the print, instead of been cut with a guillotine it is done by the paper making machine, and gives a textured,decorative finish, ie if you got a piece of paper and ripped it in half instead of cutting it straight that would be a deckled edge :ziggi:

Roo,

Thanks again for helping me to understand all these different techniques and whatnot. So, what is the point of a deckled edge if I plan on framing (actually framing and matting) these prints? Wouldn't the edge be covered due to the matte overlap?

I guess at this the point the only reason I see to buy them as the $60.00 set it to get matching numbers out of a smaller run of ten... that's actually worth it if you ask me, but I think my deckled edges would be hidden.

true if you matte then the deckling will not be visible
for this reason some folks float frame deckled prints w/o a matte

I personally like deckled edges, but it depends on the image and the paper, with this print i dont think it would look as good floated as it would with 1 or even 2 mattes plus i dont know what paper Aelhra uses. For me the actual print reminds me of a snap taken by a tourist on a 2week holiday in North Queensland and then photo shopped by the holiday makers son because dad doesnt know how to turn on the computer. :ziggi:

I dont undertand "hand deckled". I have a print from him that is hand deckled and I had to e-mail him and ask if there was some sort of mix up because I received a torn print..lol.

I think I'm going to skip the deckled edges on this one as I also agree that it would look better with matte. I'm going to have to convince myself that a matching set out of a run of 10 isn't as important as having the prints displayed nicely, in my opinion.

Chances are that the deckled set will sell out before I even get a chance to buy, so that might seal the deal for me right there!
