[Hey, what\'s wrong with black borders


Oh, boy... ;-)

Nothing. But... I decided, for my own work, that I wanted to present photograph with borders similar to what you will see in a print, and I mat in white. (I also found, again for me, that black borders can have an effect on how I perceive the image on the monitor that misleads me about how the image will work as a print - the black borders let you go darker and still see shadow detail that won\'t show up as well in the print.

In any case, it was just a personal decision, and I still might occasionally virtual-mat in black on a few images. :-)
