It does warp the images *a little*, in the sense that if you rotate  
your scan Walking Papers will be able to compensate. If you can take a  
nice, flat photo of a print from the application, there should be no  
problems finding the code and using the image. The problem is that not  
a lot of photos are nice and flat, and I wasn't able to figure out how  
to deal with all the potential variables: lenses, viewing angles,  
curled paper, variable lighting, etc.

I'm thrilled to death that people are using it though!
