Title: Mount Cutting Calculations Post by: Terry-M on November 22, 2011, 04:49:37 PM Like many amateur photographers, I make my own mounts for prints that I enter into competitions. I have some FrameCo Mat Master equipment.
I usually calculate the sizes for marking out and cutting both the piece of board and the aperture. I have now made a simple spread sheet where the key dimensions are entered and the remainder are calculated. The attachment below is a screen shot from the spread sheet (Excel). There is an alternative work sheet that calculates the overall size when the mount border widths are specified. If anyone would like a copy of the spread sheet, PM me here with your e-mail address and I'll send it. Terry PS. The example shown is metric but you can enter in any units you like. ;D Title: Re: Mount Cutting Calculations Post by: Jeff on November 23, 2011, 09:24:15 AM Yes please, could be very useful.

I've got one coming up that will have multiple mats, can the spreadsheet work on those as well?
Tnx, Chuck Tankersley |
