That's the problem I've run into with trying to figure out GIMP on my own: there's certainly a tool for everything, but what it's called and where it is are quite problematic.

I'd say you cant figure these things out on your own. Thats why forums are great.
Aligning identical images with the help of the 'Difference' mode is a trick ofnuts teached me for example.

Getting two scans of the same form to line up perfectly can be challenging, even if you position the paper perfectly on the glass, as soon as you close the lid, the airpressure can easily spoil it. I have scanned quite a few images and tried to stitch them together and its not an easy task. Thats why the new 'Unified Transform' Tool is a great addition.

I know that Photoshop has a functionality that aligns images automatically, so maybe there is a script for Gimp that does this, or could be written.
