So here's the deal. I've been working with GIMP & Photoshop to try and create an accurate template.
I've run into two problems though:
1) Neither tool (Photoshop/GIMP) can get any more accurate than a tenth of an inch. (Some are accurate to a hundredth, most ~a tenth.)
2) Accuracy is further degraded when attempting to print.
Bottom line: This might be usable for basic comparison, but I am unable to make anything more useful than that. I've done a Kwikset (standard), but I'm not convinced this is the correct method to go ahead with as accuracy really isn't the best. I'm going to experiment by using my calipers and doing a template by hand. I'm not confident that'll produce better results, but it's worth a shot.
At the end of the day I now know why this doesn't exist yet. No worries though, I'm going to keep trying & the next few weeks I'll have some time on my hand to keep playing with this.
