Westcott - L-Square

L-Square

Frame compositions perfectly with dual-scale precision cropping

Cropping decisions require seeing your composition while measuring accurately. This L-shaped ruler solves that problem with clear acrylic construction that lets you view the entire image underneath while positioning your crop. Each 8½-inch leg measures 1½ inches wide, providing substantial surface area for stable alignment without obscuring your work. Outside edges are calibrated in sixteenths of an inch for precise English measurements; inside edges show centimeters for metric work. The dual-scale system eliminates constant conversion when working across measurement standards.

The L-configuration frames two adjacent edges simultaneously, making it invaluable for establishing square corners and consistent margins. Photographers use it to evaluate print crops and mat dimensions; graphic designers rely on it for layout measurements; printmakers depend on it for registration marks and edition sizing. Clear plastic construction means you're never guessing what falls inside or outside your frame. Westcott prints measurements directly onto the acrylic for permanent visibility that won't wear off with handling. The tool maintains accuracy through repeated use, from quick thumbnail sketches to final presentation pieces requiring exact dimensions.
