Cropping & borders tip

Metallic doesn't change your crop—your size choice does. If your photo doesn't match the print shape, a borderless Metallic print may crop edges to fill the page. If you want the full image visible, choose Smart Borders or add a white border. The preview shows the exact final layout.

Mini FAQ

What does Metallic look like?

Metallic has a pearlescent shimmer—bright areas glow, dark areas feel deeper. It gives photos a 3D, almost luminous quality.

Is Metallic good for landscapes?

Yes. Metallic is a favorite for sunsets, cityscapes, and travel photos with dramatic light.

Does Metallic work for portraits?

It can. Metallic looks stunning for studio portraits with bold lighting. For natural-light portraits, Luster may be a softer choice.

Is Metallic more expensive?

Metallic is a premium finish, so it may cost a bit more than standard options. Check pricing on the product page.

Will Metallic work in bright rooms?

Metallic has some sheen, so it can catch light. If glare is a concern, Matte or Luster may be easier to display.

Why Metallic stands out

Metallic paper has a pearlescent layer that makes highlights pop and shadows feel deeper. It's the 'wow' finish—best for photos where you want people to stop and stare.

If you have a sunset, a moody city shot, or a dramatic portrait, Metallic can take it to the next level.
