The easiest digital mats in Photoshop. Period.
New in version 3! All-new mat cores and mat textures—from traditional to contemporary!
Need a quick mat? No problem. Just click on a texture, pick a core color and thickness, and “Create New Mat”. Then use Photoshop's Marquee or Shape tools to cut openings in the mat in whatever size or shape you need!
