Help needed- How to determine exact centering

Hi all,

Over the last few years some board members chime in on threads about centering with exact numbers. Although I assume it isn't too difficult to do, I don't know how. I would imagine it is a function within a program like photoshop. Any help would be appreciated.

I'd like to know the centering on this Gretzky before I sub it. Just so I am realistic about what to expect.

Thanks,

Nathanael

    In order to assess centering, you have to know how to compute it. To compute centering, you measure the width of a border, then you measure the width of the opposite border. Divide one of these values by the sum of both values, and express the result as a percentage.

    For example, if you have 2 mm of border to the left, and 3 mm of border to the right, you have 5 mm of total border. 2/(2+3) is 0.40, which is 40%. 3/(2+3) is 0.60, which is 60%. So this card is considered to be 40/60.
