TPSdig and Missing Data

[morphmet]

Thanks to all for the helpful responses concerning scaling in TPSdig. 
Now that I'm collecting data, I've run up against the missing data(MD)
problem.  Unless TPSdig has a "missing landmark" option that I've
missed, I need to find some way to put a placeholder in the TPS file. 
The best idea I've had so far is to place missing landmarks in the lower
left hand corner of the image.  Unfortunately, this doesn't ever yield
coordinates of exactly "0,0", but it's easy (albeit time consuming) to
open the TPS file and edit them to "0, 0" manually.  Once the data is
exported, I can easily search for missing points to estimate by
reflection or drop as needed for a particular analysis.  If someone has
a faster or more streamlined solution, I'd be grateful to hear about.
Thanks again,
Michelle
