How to use this
Every red number is editable: click it, type, press Enter. Fractions work — 11 1/2, 3/8, or plain 7.375. Everything rounds to 1/16″. Escape cancels an edit in progress; the browser's Back button undoes.
The numbers
- Mat — top-left corner.
- Print — the two numbers on the crosshair inside the print.
- Reveal — the paper border left showing around the print, set separately for top/sides and bottom.
- Top margin — the mat's top edge down to the opening.
Laying out a print
Set the mat, then the print. The opening is always centered left to right, so the only decision left is vertical: click the top margin and choose from the list.
- Equal sides — top margin matches the side margins, and the slack falls to the bottom.
- Optical center — 5/11 of the leftover height.
- Golden ratio — 0.382 of it.
- 60 / 40 — 0.4 of it.
Layouts that would sit the print at or below the middle of the mat aren't offered.
Also
- Drag a photograph onto the print to preview it in place.
- The address bar holds the whole layout — bookmark it, or send it to someone.
