All I know is that after it checked "rm" it stopped the stitch without making the image. > For the rest: > - Did you add a Control Point generator ?

I stopped using the assistant when it would insist on flipping one of the photos upside down even with 8+ control points in the overlap area distributed both horizontally and vertically, and instead went back and forth with the control point editor, image tab, optimizer, and previewer until it looked close to what I wanted. Then I tried to create the single panorama image. Thanks, -Rhonda > Actually, you could do more optimization to your panorama, but this should > ate least help you create a panorama.
