software tool for measuring matts

2010-01-17 by David Kachel

i got tired of using pencil and paper for each and every print/matt combination and spent the last couple of days writing a software program that does all the work for me. All I have to do is input the dimensions of the image area, the offsets I want on each side and the size of the matt board. It spits out the numbers I want in inches and fractional (1/4, 12, etc.) inches.

Did I just reinvent the wheel? Is there something else out there that already does this? I ask because I am wondering if I should slap a pretty face on the software and sell it for a small fee.
