Goodnight

I have a question concerning the TPS software. I collected semilandmarks and landmarks on two structures. Semilandmarks were allowed to slide to minimize bending energy. I used TPSRelw software to do this. I save the coordinates of aligned specimens. Enter these aligned coordinates in TPSPLS software. This software performs a new aligned of coordinates previously aligned. This double process of aligned, may change the final results? I have very different results when the coordinates are aligned and the coordinates are not aligned. 

Many Thanks,

Marisol
