As someone who custom builds a lot of picture frames, the ability to add frame + mat ratio to the image would be great. Those can more than double the linear dimensions (4X+ on the area) and are a pain to properly size for the wall.

For example, something like:

+3" dark brown frame (for walnut, wood texture would be a plus)

+2" left/right; +2.5" top, +3" bottom white mat board (reveals are not usually uniform in custom work)

I currently spend a lot of time mocking up these ratios in Gimp before starting work, something that automates it and shows it on the wall would be amazing.

Adding depth would be a nice touch too if that's possible, stretched canvas can stick out 1.5" or more.

Great work though, I like it so far and might be able to use it to help my mockups a bit already.
