- Activate Ruler tool by Tools > Measurement > Ruler
Draw a line to calibrate on a scale which is found on the image.
Note For more accurate results, it is recommended to use a calibration line as long as possible.
- Right-click on the calibration line, and select Calibrate
- Enter the length of the calibration line in a physical unit as indicated on the scale where the line is drawn, and select OK
The calibration line is shown in a physical unit now, and all other measurements are shown in a physical unit.
Note Images can only be calibrated individually, so a calibration done for an uncalibrated image does not apply to other uncalibrated images.
Warning It is possible to calibrate all pre-calibrated images as well, but you should be careful not to cause incorrect measures due to wrong calibration.
