Is there a standard size pano?? I would like to frame some of my images, but the only size frames I can find are small.

12 by 44 is pretty common but a custom framer is going to be involved no matter what. A.C. Moore is not going to have a five dollar frame for you,

I've actually found a couple standard frames available. The first is a 4X10 frame. Not all that practical, but there you have it. I always though I was going to have to make my own or go custom for larger. There is a frame sold by Aaron Brothers which holds 3 8X10 photos. The frame is 14 X 30 or 32 I think. I picked one up on clearance and its in the back of my closet waiting for the right pano. Obviously, you'll have to cut your own mat, but at least there are options. I think you could probably find similar frames in place like Kohls and maybe even Target where they sell family frames. Another way that I've seen panos done is on canvas. One way is obviously to make a pano canvas frame and stretch around the one frame. The other way I've seen it done is to break the pano into three sections and frame them individually so that the edges line up. Then just put them together when they are hung.

So in addition to Kelly's suggestion of the 12X44, there are some other options.
