We have come to a great milestone in our project, PJ Remix. Today we're releasing v1.0. And to launch in style we are offering a 48 hour Half Price Special Here are a few fun facts about PJ Remix 1.0 Beta: - 819 Files compile to make one executable application. - Although we've released v1.0 today, there have been over 2500 internal revisions. - The original name for this project was "PJ Jr". - An estimated 15,000 hours have gone into PJ Remix ( plus beta testing, thank you people!!). - Over 700 reported issues resolved through our feedback tracking system - Over 17m words in 'code' ( tough to To View More >>

I spent my lunch hour reading a forum post (not here obviously!) about "the best album template software". I guess I may be preaching to the choir, but... 1. Are "clunky" and/or "badly supported" the most common descriptors for album planning software? (We know Remix is "v1.0" right now, but check out our forums - we're committed!) 2. So, why not design your albums in Photoshop? It's exceptional software, but even Adobe doesn't suggest that's a good idea. Adobe's layout software is InDesign, part of Creative Suite. Another great application - we use both ourselves. 3. But what does InDesign know To View More >>

Hi All I just wanted to paint the scene here at PJ HQ... The Developers, Designers, and Support all walking around with the new office toys; stress balls! I saw two developers playing a make-shift game of ping pong with them last night (I say fair enough after sorting out so many bugs last week.) These stress balls have been a big hit. So if you're feeling any of the following; jaded, dog-tired, pooped, spent, haggard, fraught or maybe just bored, go buy a stress ball they're worth every penny.

There are two rather nice new features in the update we've just released. First, as I said yesterday, you can now specify a page size and design digital (un-matted) albums for vendors who don’t actively support PJ Remix. Second, you'll find the first expression of our Collection Builder. Display a Group, Collection or Folder in the Event window ("filter" them if you wish). Then click on the "More" button at the top of the screen and try "building a collection" (click Yes, No or Skip). Don't miss the count at the bottom left of the screen which shows how many images are left to decide upon. Hit To View More >>

Only a small proportion of our testers have signed up to the forum so far, but it's a busy place - over 273 posts on 121 topics at last count. With more new features due out in today's release, it's a good place to be. Why not check it our now? Anyone can read, but you'll need to register to post. To View More >>

"Are you CRAZY?" That's what you should say to people who beta test software. It takes a special breed to want to get into Geek Critique. It's so !@#$ frustrating! I sent ELEVEN Bug/Feedback reports yesterday (my personal record - I counted 'em), but at least I got to frustrate the dev team as much as they frustrated me. (Not really - they're my mates.) If YOU have had a frustrating time testing, we who are about to code salute you. What we're doing together is build cool software - thank you. Ian PS We're not too proud to ask. If you see the potential, or love the way it is, or the way it's going To View More >>

We've been reviewing your recent feedback, and we certainly need to say thanks. Besides the inevitable fixes, there have been some very thoughtful suggestions. We apologise for not replying personally to everyone, but if you've written it, we've read it. TBH we could spend a lot of time on the net right now, and get a lot less done. Please understand we're knocking things off as far as we can. If you've made a suggestion you'd like to get a wider airing, please do leave a post on our forum. A good point made on the forum is that the first thing some people may want to do is open their Retro client To View More >>

We broke our record! We cleared 37 reported issues in 0.92 this week. Not bad eh? Considering there's a fair bit going on this week - for instance giving this blog a makeover, and adding a way for you to subscribe by email. You'll be able to read the list when you open Remix and it invites you to update. Check out the list for the one you reported. If not, we'll be working on it. Our thanks for helping out. Cheers Danny To View More >>

Hi All Just had to share - A client sent in a screen shot to help us resolve an issue. It was hard not to notice his screen is HUGE. I mentioned it to one of our design team and the jokes started flowing - write him and admit that his is bigger than yours etc... Anyway now I have serious 'screen envy' - thanks. To make something useful of this, click this link for a 2-minute 13MB video Ian and I did about customising your workspace. It's recorded on my modest little 1440x900 MacBook Pro. Cheers Danny (1650x1050, enjoys long walks on beach, fine wine, classical music...) ps We did resolve the issue To View More >>

Hi All We're in the *studio* a lot at the moment. Here's a tour of PJ Remix from our strategic point of view ( 6 mins instead of 20! ). We touch on ideas and concepts important to us. 1. User Experience - it's gotta be cool, fun, and easy to use. 2. Pragmatic - it's gotta work, gotta be productive. 3. Integrate - it's gotta know about your lab and album vendor. We'd love to hear what you think of our ideas... You'll get more out of the higher quality video IMHO. Higher Quality Lower Quality Cheers Danny To View More >>
