Hinge replacement and door alignment...

so i replaced the lower hinge on front driver door last night. Left the top one intact. interestingly, there were only two bolts securing hinge to body (instead of three). Anyway, I got it pretty close. Fore/aft and up/down is done by adjustments to the hinge to body, correct? And door 'depth' is done by adjustments to the hinge to door, correct? It doesn't seem to be quite as smooth as the passenger door, probably need to do more ajusting?

You've just gotta keep fiddling with it. It took me a couple hours per door to get it perfect.
