Print too long for frame
I am new to this and am looking for some advice. I have framed several 18x24 prints recently with no problems. All have the same frame. However, one of the prints is just a tiny bit too long(approx 1/16") and I cannot get it to lay flat in the frame. Is it possible to cut this myself or take it to a profesional and have it done? Or do I need to just get a bigger frame with a matte? The print is nothing too valuable and I would probably never resell. I just dont want to ruin it. Any suggestions?

#1 - check the frame to see if it is a bit small. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen from production lot of a ready made to a different lot of ready made. Some manufactures have a full 1/8" allowance and others do not and still others have no allowance.
