Subtraction Technique - Forensic Imaging |

Hello, I work in forensic science and am teaching a lab at a university using the subtraction method for footwear and fingerprints.
Effectively I have 2 photographs taken using a tripod and the same lighting and camera settings (I have JPEG and NEF files for both photographs)
- 1 is of a dusty partial footwear mark on a wooden floor
- 1 is of the wooden floor but with the footwear mark completely cleaned away after the first photograph
I want to subtract the background (cleaned substrate) from the photograph showing the footwear mark, leaving only the footwear mark which will hopefully reveal more detail that was visibly lost in the wood grain background. The background can often interfere with visualising the print, especially with fingerprints and so the removal of the background can reveal fine details in ridges, valleys and pores etc.
I have experience using the subtraction method in Photoshop but as this is a university course I am unable to get multiple licences due to funding etc and so I have started playing around with GIMP instead.
I have tried a few methods I found online loading the images as layers and playing around with the subtraction and difference modes with some success but was wondering if there were any other settings/changes I could use to improve this?
Also, is there an auto-align function in GIMP? e.g. solid lines between floorboards are aligned, not just the photographs themselves. As much as I try not to knock the tripod between photographs there sometimes can be very slight movement.
Thanks for your help/advice, David

no printing with Canon MG5220 under Debian stable |

Posted this on the dead forum (why is it still there if it's dead?):
I mentioned this a year ago, but the problem is still there so I thought I'd shake the bushes a bit: My Canon MG5220 printer doesn't work with GIMP. It works flawlessly with every other application I have on my Debian stable distro. As I've read elsewhere on the web, you do your modifications to an image in GIMP, then you save it and use another app to print it. Really?
The printer does nothing at all except that the little activity screen says that information is being received but nothing physical happens. It's exactly the same with Gutenprint or the 'normal' print. Can't this be fixed guys? Every other app prints to the Canon without any trouble. As it is, for simple work I'm now using fotoxx which prints fine, but I'd rather be using GIMP.
