Edge Duplication.

What is Edge Duplication?

When you choose a mirror wrap the edges of your photo are duplicated and mirrored around the sides of the frame. This is called edge duplication. If your photo has important content close to the edges (like the child's head and body in the examples below) it will be duplicated around the sides. Edge duplication decreases as size increases. Edge duplication also decreases when a slim frame is selected.

Bad Candidates

In the examples below the girls head is very close to the top edge of the photo, and her body is touching the bottom edge. The edge duplication that occurs on the deep framed A4 is dramatic. The slim framed A4 is better, but still not great. As the the size increases the edge duplication is less noticeable at the top, however her body is always duplicated on the bottom.

Good Candidates

In the examples below there is no important content close to the edges of the photo.

Manage the Risk

If your photo has important content close to its edges we recommend you:

• Choose a larger size
• Choose a slim frame
• Choose a different wrap
