I have always wondered which tile is used for vector registration purposes
in the case of multiple rasters tiles opened in the same map window.

Is it the first tile that is opened and, if that tile happened to be
fractionally misaligned to the other tiles (read a slight rotation) during
the scanning process, what effect this has on vector creation operations?  I
would also imagine that any rotational errors would be greatly magnified
through the remaining raster tiles if the registering tile happened to be at
one of the extremeties of the project.

We have always been very cautious about this to the point of closing all
tables before seperately and individually opening each raster tile for
digitising.

I was just looking for a bit of discussion on the pitfalls and benefits of
seamless raster tables and any other problems or solutions listers have come
accross when dealing with multiple ratser images.

Just as a suggestion, one way to provide a "simple" fix to misaligned tiles
(read rotational discrepencies)would be to have the registration process
offer an option to perform a simple rotation on the underlying raster image.
I have seen some mapping software offer this option to physically correct
the orientation of the raster image on the basis of a registration and it
seams to work well.
