Sometime back while I was preparing for a show, I discovered my favorite online mat calculator was not working for some reason. I also discovered how cumbersome it was to have to have to tote my laptop out to wherever I was matting or have to calculate the numbers all by hand. I brought up this annoyance with Artlan ,a dear friend of mine, and he had the brilliant idea of coding an Android app to use for matting. I did the graphics and beta testing and he did all the legwork and listened to my obnoxious nitpicking until MatMath was born.
This small app works with all android devices. It's very simple: plug in your mat/frame size and your picture size and it will calculate the borders for your mat and even generate a handy little visual reference (so if like me you have cut the wrong size on the wrong side ;P). That's all there is to it and best of all...IT'S FREE!
Please download it and give us your feedback! We would love to improve on it where we can.
Thats so cool!
Thanks for sharing. I don't have a fancy shmancy phone though, do you think something similar is available for pc's?
I used to use one from Logan's website (they make matcutters), but it stopped working and I can't seem to find it now. A brief google search yielded: http://www.gt-photography.com/matworks.html but I don't know the site or if it's a good program so don't want to recommend. I'm sure there's some mat calcs floating around out there. We can't be the only people who need it ;}.
