Questions are welcome here.  That is the whole point of this group, so don't apologize!  :)

A true virtual tour-not a slideshow of still images-is made from the panoramas.  If the panoramas are not protected, it is conceivable that they can be taken and used without permission and compensation.  I once had a web guy suggest "re-engineering" a tour.  The images need to be protected.

Encryption of your work and other security features are essential in order to protect the work from being stolen.  If a client has paid for a project, let's just assume that it is an airplane museum, anyone can steal the imagery that the client has paid for, if it is not secured.  Not a very professional way to deliver content.  On the other side of the table we may have to protect ourselves from less than decent clients who might run off with a project without paying for it (after they get it for proof-checking), or they may alter the tour after the tour has been paid for (not a good thing to put one's name on some work that is then ruined by people who change things or make things so badly that the tour won't work as it should.

There are many good and valid reasons for securing the work as well as possible.

I've used Zerene stacker for many stacked macro photos.  Form all the reviews
I've been able to find it is one of the best.

I also have an extra Melles Griot telecentric lens if anyone is interested. 
Here is a pan and stitched sample (not stacked):

Here is what the lens looks like:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dbur971/4732535550/in/photostream

Front of the lens is about 3" across, I use it with 55mm Nikkor macro lens as
base lens.  Seems to work with the Canon 50mm as well.

It may require more images than you want for your hammer, but doable.

i fully disagree.

if you think that encrypting something that is shown on a website is going to
help, I think you might be misunderstanding some of the implications of
publishing on the web.

if you are SHOWING your image on the web, the person looking at them, by
definition, is downloading them to their computer (to their web cache, at least)

encrypting a tour might make it slightly harder to "steal" the images, but not
very much at all. and anyone who actually does want to steal it, will certainly
know how to get around that.

sorry to pee on your bed, or whatever the metaphor is here ;-)

Just for the records: There are several combinations of standard lenses
and standard achromatic close-up lenses that make up a (near)
telecentric combo: f.e the Canon EF 100mm 1:2.8 IS USM macro lens
together with a 5dpt close-up lens as well as the EF 100-400 1:4.5-5.6
IS USM (at 400mm) with a 2dpt close-up lens. Both must be used at near
focus.

I've discovered both accidentally when playing around with close-up
lenses I happen to own. For the EF 100mm I used a step down ring
(67->58mm) which doesn't cause vignetting and allows to use my
collection of 58mm filters. It doesn't work with the older Canon 100mm
macro lenses though...

The 2dpt close-up lens is recycled from a 500mm f/8 Beroflex telephoto
lens (where the back lens group was blinded by bad lens fungus). I use
it with a step down ring (77->72mm). I mention this because the distance
between close-up lens and base lens is critical.

In fact any combination of close-up lens and base lens should work if
some kind of extension tube is used which places the focal point of the
close-up lens in the entrance pupil of the base lens, which effectively
projects the entrance pupil and hence the no-parallax-point at infinity
behind the camera.

Is there a tutorial how I can determine which add-on lens I need to
buy for a given macro lens?

I have a Sigma 105mm macro.

Respectfully ...I think your both correct.. Yes it's true that that visualization of an image is only achieved today thru downloading to the recipients computer.. So absolutely any piece , image , file etc that gets moved to the viewer can get stolen.. That being said within the file can be (2) things a hidden water mark on images and also an encrypted embedded tag within the file .. The tag allows a spyder to search for the file.. within web sites and is highly successful today.. This is a for pay service but in the right situation a wise thing to do..  As one could guess it's not bomb proof regarding someone physically printing and using or changing an image.. but this technology exists and in most cases it very effective especially when the images is used on the web..

A real world challenging :)

I'm sure you would never throw out some outlandish claims you couldn't back up in real life, so I do appreciate you taking the time to prove your claims, so that I would not be claiming something you have proven to be wrong.

Here you have a project that has been encrypted, and you are more than welcome to take the images from the browser cache and do with them as you like... or in some other magical way turn this into a usable panorama on your end: http://goo.gl/Q9wyB

Since you FULLY DISAGREE with my statement, I think it is only fair that you provide more than just a claim.  I provide a protected project, next move is yours.

Final result: Build the same panorama (it is a simple one, no hotspots or other things to take care of), and provide a link to it when it is ready.  This project expires in exactly one week, which should be more than enough time for you to do your magic.... after all you did say: "encrypting a tour might make it slightly harder to "steal" the images, but not very much at all.".  I do ABSOLUTELY disagree with your claim, and unless you provide a PROOF in the form of the same panorama images being displayed on your server, using whatever player you desire, I will of course expect you to apologize for wrong statements and for trying to take a leak in my bed.

I sincerely don't think you are anywhere close to wetting my bed - and that you might want to change your own bed-sheets before going to sleep :)

In THEORY, the encryption can be broken by super computers, but who does have access to super computers, and who is so hell bent on getting some panoramic images, they would try to get those by using said super computers?  Point being: The images are safe and secure when encrypted, and won't be stolen by competitors or some sleazy panorama thiefs (that do stick up their ugly heads from time to time, making life miserable for the content creators and tour owners).  

Best regards, and good luck!

I don't know of any. However, it's not limited to macro lenses, any lens
will do as a base lens. First determine where the no-parallax-point
(NPP) of the base lens is just as for panorama shooting. Next calculate
the focal length of the close-up lens, it's 1/dpt in meters. So if it
has 2 dpt (diopters) the focal length is 50cm. Place the close-up lens
by it's focal length in front of the NPP of the base lens. In our
example you should place it 50cm in front of the NPP.
You can even use an inverted other lens if you don't have a close-up
lens, like Rik did in his setup:
http://www.photomacrography.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1032
In this case the correct position must be found by try and error

Another combo can be found here:

Haha ... no Kathy, that is going to be too much work for any thief, which is exactly why they prefer to simply steal imagery from the cache and use what they can get that way.  If they have to take screenshots and puzzle things together in order to try and get a usable tour... they won't move a finger.  Thieves are not the most worksome people, and even the screen grab feature can be blocked with a javascript (I don't provide that feature with P.Cocoon though).  The result from making screen grabs and try to match things up with stitching... it might end up costing so much in time and effort, that booking a flight to where the pano in question was shot, and shooting it again might prove to be faster and cheaper.  

 A screen grab results in a serious degradation of image quality as well, so even if someone hell-bent on having a copy of a pano made from screen grabs, it would be like making a copy of an original painting by Rembrandt, and use yogurt with food colors as a replacement for proper oil paint.  It would not result in anything worth one's time and effort.

I do expect the person behind the klobala nick, to provide irrefutable proof of his/her words, that the images can be stolen. If no such proof is provided, I will take that as a proof that he/she was just trolling.

No, of course not. Javascript runs in the browser and can't interact
with a different program, which might offer screen grab (like f.e.

I have to agree with you after doing some digging.  I was quoting from what I remembered from years ago ... IE days no less... I think this "solution" is what I came across, and it doesn't work in today's browsers: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-482.html

Someone in the panorama community (Panoguide if my brain is not failing me on that account as well) did show an example of a copyright info being displayed when save image or print screen was used (don't remember which one, or if both were covered).  That was probably 3-4 years ago... if that solution still works or not I don't know.

Companies like JD Edwards, Melles Griot and other have some tutorials that
explain exactly what "telecentricity" is.  Based on my research on this topic,
your best resource will be the links to photomacrography.net that were posted
earlier.  As far as I can tell, this is relatively novel ground for
photographers in general; Rik Littlefield's articles are the best I've found.

There might be ways to disable Ctrl+PrintScreen buttons which activate
the OS print screen function on system level and may be ActivX still
allows for this, but there is no way in more secure browsers and
certainly there is no way around programs offering screen capture.

Erik is right.  And think about it.  If you could do such retasking of
fundamental browser actions from script in an HTML page, that would be a HUGE
security hole.  If image security becomes a more important issue than it is
today, then maybe image encryption will be built into script interpreters --
maybe someday.

it actually took me FIVE WHOLE MINUTES to do it, while eating a banana and
bouncing a baby on my knee. Maybe if I put the banana down I could have done it
in 3 minutes.

I could steal the pano while making a pizza at the same time but this would take
probably more like 8 or 9 minutes, because of the greasy hands, I would have to
use my nose on the trackpad which really slows me down a lot.

so i stole the pano AND THEN i'll make a pizza which is more efficient.
multitasking is overrated.

It will have bacon on it. yummy!

Hi giant koala monster ..your BAD copy is worse than a panorama made with my old  coolpix...

Come on ....is that your best ? can you do better ?...can you ? btw did you use Kathy coloured yougurt ? seems..
Maybe you shoud eat a comecumber ;-) instead of a banana .. maybe it gives a better result :-)
