We are about to release a new version of Photojunction that will no longer support Macintosh pre-Intel PowerPCs, which were discontinued in 2006. This is necessary so that we can upgrade the Photojunction development environment, which no longer supports PowerPCs. If you are running a Windows PC you won't be affected. If you're running an Intel-based Mac you won't be affected either. All Macs have been Intel-based since 2007, so if your computer is newer than that you're fine. If you're not sure you can check by going to About This Mac under the Apple menu. We have announced that this is coming To View More >>

Warning: Your high-res files are missing! At one stage or another in your relationship with Photojunction I'm sure you've encountered this warning. If it was a popularity contest it would end up below car salesmen, cold callers and politicians. But love it (nobody) or hate it (everybody) it's there for a good reason. Photojunction travels along paths. It follows those paths to locate, use and update the proxy images, hi res files and exports created as you work. The rules are simple. If you don't move, rename or delete your files and folders, Photojunction will find them. But life isn't simple, To View More >>

I was talking to Simon, one of our album layout designers, about how the team were finding the new Workspace album proofing feature. They've been using it with photographers for a few months now and I was keen to get his feedback. What follows is pretty much his response verbatim. "It's working brilliantly! We get to review the studio’s comments alongside the relevant layouts. It’s accurate and clear to follow. "Not having to interpret requests for edits in emails is a real bonus. The integrated communication between the studio, bride and groom, and designer keeps everybody in the loop, and To View More >>

If you reopen an album in Photojunction after sending to Queensberry, you'll notice it's "locked" and cannot be modified. Why? Because if you were to make changes to the album after we've received the order, we'd be making something different, which would certainly cause us confusion – you, us, or all of us – as you can imagine. So if you need to make changes to the album, eg upload new files, or order an extra copy, you'll need to duplicate the album first. Cheers, Angelique To View More >>

One of the most useful features of Workspace is album proofing. You can proof books and albums you've designed in Photojunction, and also Queensberry books and albums you've designed in Workspace. In the FREE account you can proof Queensberry books and albums, but to proof a non-Queensberry album, you need a Workspace "Basic" subscription, which will cost you $10 per month. The main advantage to Workspace proofing over Albumexposure is that your albums will be proofed on a site that highlights YOUR brand, not Queensberry or AlbumExposure! You can also integrate your Workspace site with your existing To View More >>

Let's face it, if you don't import images into Workspace then not a lot is going to happen. Unless you're just using it to proof the albums you've designed in Photojunction, that is. So let's start at the Dashboard, and click New Event. The first thing Workspace will ask for is an Event name. This could be your clients' names. Click Create Event. Once you have done that, click Add Images To Event, and browse for your files. The maximum size for a file is 28MB, and it needs to be a JPEG or TIFF. But choose a size that's suitable for what you want to use it for – no bigger, or you'll be using To View More >>

I have a confession. Unlike a lot of our customers I'm relatively new to Photojunction. Luckily I work with a great team, so when required they make me look good. The cool thing is that I look at Photojunction and discover things about it daily that I didn't know. There are features that are a little hidden. It's a bit of a shame, really, that they aren't more obvious, because usually they do something that can change the way you work for the better. So I thought it would be nice to share our ten favorite buttons (in no particular order). 1. Open templates in new window Place your cursor over To View More >>

Here's my second handy hint about file management. Don't muck about with your hi res files outside Photojunction after they've been imported. The key words there are outside Photojunction. If you want to keep the software smiling, they're important. It means you need to think about when and how you copy image files, and when you are going to do your artwork. Here are three alternative scenarios, which all keep PJ happy if used properly: 1. Do art work on your images before importing them. This is so you can import one set of finished files without lots of extra images, sub-folders etc to confuse To View More >>

Hi Guys, I have been having a few "GoToMeeting" video calls with clients recently and if I was going to comment about anything it would be how we manage files. There is a wide variety of ways people set up and work with their files, and sometimes they lead to confusion and frustration. Here's the first of a couple of posts that will help. ;) Place your files somewhere safe. Your desktop may not be the best place to save files, because you may have a tidy up and delete something that you may want to retain, at least until you get your album back. On the flip side you don't want to bury them deep To View More >>

By default Photojunction keeps its main database and your template and project files in a folder called "Photojunction" on your computer. You can move the folder to a new location, but by default you'll find it here: Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:Program DataPhotojunction Windows XP: C:Document and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataPhotojunction Mac: Macintosh HD:Users:Shared:Photojunction: If you're shifting to a new computer, just move the ENTIRE FOLDER to the equivalent location on the new machine. Some people may have moved their PJ Project files (client/event/album data) to a different location. To View More >>
