It doesn't matter how many control points you have set if you have
parallax distortion between the 2 images. I've had images with 80
control points between them and it still can't stitch them
successfully because the control points don't makes sense because of
the distortion.<br>

In the preview, go to the MOve/Drag tab and drag the image with the
right mouse button and it will rotate.<br>

<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

<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><font color="#888888"><br>

<div dir="ltr">I'm trying to do a

I had to go in and put control
