Great news! I'll do what anyone does and select which facts to believe.
May I ask how you do to find the coordinates of the fiducial points?
Maybe there is a quick way that I overlooked before? I found it a bit
troublesome to use a photo editor and manually transfer the
coordinates corner by corner.

My thought exactly!
