Abstract
A system and method and related computer program for customizing photo framing or for otherwise providing options to customize framing of photographs and/or images. The system comprises a data network, a device(s), a user interface and a server. The method comprises allowing a user access to the interface to select a photo size, a photo arrangement, a matte option and upload an image according to such selections. The user may make adjustments to the image such as cropping or editing. The method further comprises checking for minimum requirements as to the image quality and orientation. After successfully uploading the image the user may select a frame type and a matte color. Thereafter, the user may place an order for the customized framing arrangement.
