Proportion Calculator is a utility to assist graphic artists in scaling photos and artwork for publication. Its function and features are based on my experience in producing magazines, and are aimed at simplifying the process of page layout as well as tagging the art for the litho prep process. After years of scaling photographs with a calculator, scratchpad and tracing paper, I decided to program a new approach. If you’re using Quark Xpress and a scanner to lay out publications with reflective originals, then you may not find Proportion Calculator as useful as someone using PageMaker or even traditional keyline methods.
