I havent seen anything on it Edit: I seen some that you have to manually put in measurements yourself, was wondering if there was technology that it measures for you.

But the important thing is they have something else in the pic that is relative, think CSI when they take a photo of evidence and have a 90 degree ruler that shows the relevant size of the object. Let me know if you find anything cool. Kristen Comments Interesting post @ceerup, I actually have a client nwo that wants to measure something from a photo.
