No, the size of the window to cut and at what distance from each edge of the board to make your cuts.

For example; you bought a bunch of 16x20 museum board, but it is really 15-7/8 by 20-3/16.
The image area of your photograph is 9 x 13-3/8.

You want the matt to be 3/8 outside the image edge of your print, except for the bottom where you want a larger space of 1/2 inch. And, you want a wider border at the bottom than the top by one inch total.

Now do the math manually.
