<p>I'd say that still fits with my answer. If you have one image
that it can't align it will be sitting on the preview in it's
default orientation.</p>

<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

<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to do a panorama. It found
at least 17 control points between images 0,1 and

was fine but when I stitch it all together the

panorama stretched out. Any ideas how to fix this?<br
