I need *something* to align the images, yes. The scanner isn't replicating

What does align_image_stack do, then?

I said a border might be a set of points.
Not that a point is a border.

Sorry, but I was talking about the dpi of the scanner.
Plus I wasn't even thinking that dpi is an exclusive domain of PNG, that 
would be outright silly.

It seems you mix a lot up.

It seems you assume a lot about my level of knowledge.
If something is unclear to you, please ask, don't just assume. Assumptions 
tend to be off the mark, and having to deflect such assumptions tends to 
get into an antagonistic mood. A cooperative mood is much better at 
clearing up misunderstandings, and much more fun for both sides.
