1. In a digital image editing environment, a computer-implemented method for determining a camera-to-object distance from features within a digital image comprising: obtaining the digital image for processing via an image processing application; identifying a particular feature contained in the digital image, the particular feature corresponding to a defined reference feature having known physical dimensions in real life; measuring a dimension of the particular feature that reflects a digital size of the particular feature within the digital image; and computing a camera-to-object distance for the digital image based in part upon a ratio of the measured dimension of the particular feature and the known physical dimensions of the identified feature.
