So, you’ve decided you don’t want anyone pinning images from your website or blog.  Maybe it’s due to personal opinions, or fear that some Pinterest pinners will violate the copyrights of the work or content that your website hosts. How do you make it harder for people to pin your stuff?  You can actually ban or block people from pinning any pictures on your website.  This was released recently from Pinterest:

We have a small piece of code you can add to the head of any page on your site:

<meta name=”pinterest” content=”nopin” />

When a user tries to pin from your site, they will see this message:
“This site doesn’t allow pinning to Pinterest. Please contact the owner with any questions. Thanks for visiting!”

This might be of note to those that don’t want anything on their personal websites to be pinned on pinterest via the web browser bookmarklet.  Of course, this isn’t going to stop people from right click save as, or screenshotting, and then uploading the images to pinterest directly… but I don’t think Pinterest users are going to want to go through all of that trouble.  The fact of the matter is, if you don’t want images from your blog being pinned, you should use this code on your personal blogs and websites.  Will larger corporations begin using this code?  I guess only time will tell.  I highly doubt many of them are anti-Pinterest, as it drives a lot of new traffic.  It will be interesting to see if a website as large as Flickr or maybe even Twitpic will begin implementing these anti-Pinterest measures.

We’re all for Pinterest – we have nothing against it, and actually love using it as a great promotional tool.  We do think that it’s very fair of them that they are giving webmasters and web content hosts the option of disabling pinterest on a per site basis.

Here Bob (“The Miz”) shows us how easy it is with just a few steps to remove color cast issues that might have happened in your images.  Make sure to subscribe to our youtube channel for more step-by-step, easy-to-follow Photoshop video tutorials!

Have you ever taken a photograph of someone near a brightly colored wall, object, or in a certain environment; only to realize there has been a terrible colorcast on the subject?  This happens a lot.  The white balance isn’t always the issue, but more so what the light is reflecting off of.  Taking photographs of someone in the grass on a sunny day can many times make them have a slight greenish hue in their skin tones. Using some simple color range selections, and curves adjustment techniques, you can easily remove color cast issues using this simple technique that Bob Mizerek demonstrates in this video tutorial.

Want to learn how to crate and use actions in Adobe Photoshop?  Maybe you’ve heard about it, or tried it in the past, only to find yourself getting stuck or held up at a certain point?  This tutorial is for you.  It will walk you through the basics of how to record an action and then how to use it in your post processing workflow.  Tutorial by the one and only Bob Mizerek.

Cross processing is a technique where you either have the same image, shot on a tripod, captured with multiple exposures. Or, cross-processing can also be done by creating mutltiple exposure levels in post, using an original RAW file.  Here, Bob Mizerek gives us a peek inside his personal workflow to see how he took a landscape photo of a forest from dull to spectacular by cross-processing the image.
