Hi Nariman,

maybe like your camera software provides a spatial calibration that  
is present in the file?
See the Image>Info; you will then see, e.g., 'Resolution:  72 pixels  
per inch'
If the image has a spatial calibration, you should also see scaled  
units instead of pixels in the status line while movint the cursor  
over the image (e.g. x=4.5, y=5.5).
