Try it from TIF's or Jpg's. I have had issues from raw files and photomerge.

Thanks!
OP: Does this result occur every time you use this set of images? If so,
I'd like to get the original set of images so we can run some tests. Thanks.
No, I tried it again with the same set of images--with the same settings, and it worked fine. Very odd thing to see. Reminds me of an issue I saw with the CS3 beta working with photomerge.
I debated whether to post or not, but you never know...
Do you have a calibrated monitor?
I think part of the problem is that at least for me ACR doesn't come up and
allow you to process the raw files before Photomerge gets them. This means
that some default or something in the processing of the raw data to bitmap
for Photomerge has an issue.

Do you have a calibrated monitor?
Definitely. But I agree with Robert. The only times I have seen this was when using ACR--once with the new CS4 and a few times with CS3 beta. I've never seen it using photomerge while in Photoshop.
Also, I'm using my graphics card (Nvidia) with the latest driver. CS4 has worked great otherwise.
In CS3, the files appear to have been processed. Of course, since they remain as layers until you flatten, ACR might do it afterwards.
The preview looks correct so far as the overall correction is concerned, although sometimes the Preview shows a layer that is off the others, which isn't true in the ACR view.
In general, if I have trouble with ACR files in Photomerge, I'll see it in tiff. Then I use a stand alone stitching tool.
Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it???????
PC is Windows XP Pro SP3 with 2 GB RAM
"Einige Bilder konnten nicht automatisch ausgerichtet werden"
(Some pictures couldn't be adjusted automatically)
- I reduced the size of the pictures, no change in the result.
- After several times to try the merging again we were getting the same results,
- Sometimes even CS3 crashed itself without any message.
- We were using all options of merging (zyl, prop. etc.) always gettimg the same result.
We were using CS3 since a year and before CS2 since 2006, never having anny difficulties with Photomerge.
And do you have example image sets where this happens?
My first guess is that a numerical library function changed in SP3, and it causes problems for some systems. It is also possible that there was a problem with the SP install and some files are corrupt.
Sorry, this was a mistake! (mult. topics)
but I was thinking about the same (corrupted file) and I reinstalled/repaired CS3 completely.
No change, it was always the same that happened.
I have still CS2 installed, with a much less comfortable Photomerge and this works as before. I could merge the pictures without any trouble.
But once having used CS3, using CS3 is a big step backwards!
The problem is, the feature in CS2 is much less of quality, then CS3
Installing XP SP3 was quiet and good, no issues came up.
Any other ideas? I don't want to go back to SP2, but I checked quite everything I know.
Another point I have CS3 also installed on a notebook, it is working properly, but only with smaller files, due to the free memory.
If there is no chance, I will desinstal it completely and then reinstall, instead only over-installing like before.
