English term or phrase: for scale

Il senso è chiaro: inserire in una fotografia un elemento che dia l'idea delle dimensioni di tutto il resto.

Qualche frase:
The boat was used **for scale**.
A figure is needed **for scale**.
Either no people or, **for scale**, just one or two very small
The choice is around how obvious the small figures should be to **establish the scale**.

Grazie.

Grading comment

Ho scartato "punto di riferimento" ed "elemento di confronto" perché credo che un riferimento alle proporzioni/dimensioni sia necessario. Non ho tradotto proprio come Valeria, ma ho adattato il traducente alla frase (mantenendo comunque il termine "proporzioni", o in alternativa "dimensioni").
