Hi Adrian,

Plugins->Transform->Landmark Correspondences

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/Landmark_Correspondences

does the job even better.  You can use the linear (or perspective) model
used for feature extraction or a Moving Least Squares deformation as in
the Moving Least Squares plugin.  Since `Landmark Correspondences' uses
a different renderer and an alternative implementation of the Moving
Least Squares method, it is faster and makes no mistakes.

For batch processing, you might be interested to check another plugin:

Plugins->Registration->Register Virtual Stack Slices

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/Register_Virtual_Stack_Slices

which can save the transformations as estimated using a variety of
registration methods (feature or intensity based) and

Plugins->Transform->Transform Virtual Stack Slices

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/wiki/index.php/Transform_Virtual_Stack_Slices

to apply them to another set of images.

Best,
Stephan
