One thing you have to remember, panel alignment is often a "dance" kind of a country western night club line dancing dance. You can't have one thing perfect and then try to get something really bad perfect too. Often you need to mess up the perfect one a little to get the one that is really bad "good enough."

This is straight up every single panel alignment I have ever done, this is how you get it all the best.
