Pegbars are just a way of grouping images that you can manipulate. By default there is only one peg bar with all your layers.
Now you want to put the layer that is misaligned on a separate peg bar:
- Click on the layer that you want to edit and remove it from pegbar 1
- Go to a new peg bar and attach it to that pegbar and make sure ther are no lock on the N-S or E-W direction.
- Now you can move the layer around till it is aligned. Record the n-s and e-w adjustments so you know how far you moved the layer.
- Go back to the first frame and see if it is still aligned.
- If not, just type in the North South shift and East West shift in the appropriate box and the entire frame should now be aligned.

- Go to the frame after once again and reset the n-s and e-w adjustments back to what is was before so that the correction you made does not affect he rest of the piece. The bad frame should now be aligned.
