cannot aling photos on demo mode

i’m using a demo mode for evaluation purposes for the agency i work. after importing photos in the new project i hit the align_images button and i get the message that the allignement took zero seconds to finish.

can anybody  help me with this?

how many images did you try to align?

could you please post a screenshot from the 1Ds view of the project?

Check if you have MERGE COMPONENTS ONLY in the alignment settings set to true.

If you do, set it to false and try again.

This happens way too often.

Would it not make sense to implement a way to prevent this from happening?

I think it would help if that option was ignored if a project contains no components at all.

Though I could live with a popup asking if I want to only align components.

That sounds good - it could even extend to one component present, since it wouldn’t make sence in this case either. Plus it could reset automatically in a new project.
