Hello Adam, you could just set the resolution (pixels / whatever) in Image>Print Size and set the display units to whatever you need in the little dropdown menu near the status bar. Then the measure tool should always give you the real-world size as well. The only thing you have to do by hand is calculating the resolution in the first place. Some image formats like tiff and png even save that setting. > Much further feature would be measure of areas, using also > feature of scale. > Simple areas like square, rectangle, or any of quadrilaterals, > triangle, oval, circle, ellipse etc... > > This would be perfect, but i don't know to whom i should send this > proposition, so please forward it to right persons if they are not > reading this list. I don't know if there are plugins for this in GIMP, but other imaging applications like ImageJ/Fiji can do stuff like this easily. (They offer much less creative possibilities though.) Daniel
