<p>Double check that you do indeed have control points between every
single image. It sounds like you might have a single image that
isn't connected in any way, or maybe only partially connected and
when it stitches it end up placed on top of all your other
images. The preview is just an OpenGL preview of what you can
expect to get but it works differently than the final stitch so
you can often times get different results if your control points
aren't all perfect. <br>
</p>
<p>You can check your layout tab in the fast panorama preview (the
GL preview button) and play with the scale. The layout tab will
quickly show you how your images are connected together and how
well. If you have any images that are just floating out there
with no lines then that's your culprit. You will also want to
look for images with very thin lines going between the images.
Thin lines represent weak connections and you will need to
increase the number of control points between your images.</p>
<p>There is also a high probability, since you said you hand held
the camera when you took the pictures that even though you picked
matching spots in the image that there is no way for the program
to warp the images correctly due to parallax distortion. If your
images are of the inside of a room, that's almost certainly the
case.</p>

<p>You will have to get one of these and it will have to be
precisely setup correctly for your camera if you are going to take
pictures indoors. There is just no other way to do it:</p>

<p>There are a lot more out there, but these 3 are some of the most
affordable ones. I've got 2 of them; one made by Manfrotto that
cost a lot of money and is built like a tank and I think it might
weigh as much as a tank as well. I've also got a Nodal Ninja that
I really like that weighs a lot less, which is why I got it, and
does an equally good job for a fraction of the money.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to do a panorama. It found at least 17

the five photos of the panorama stretched out. Any ideas how to
fix this?<br clear="all">
