Our Collection Builder reduces image sorting (and selling) to a few quick and easy steps. Here's a previous post that tells you all about it: Sorting is so easy Just in case you were wondering, it uses the Smart Full Screen feature too ;) Next in this series Cheers, Danny To View More >>

Sometimes we have trouble persuading people that Photojunction displays images in overlay albums exactly as they will appear in the album. They think what you see on screen includes the area of the print that will get lost under the mat. That may be because other programs "grey out" the area that will be hidden (we do the same with photo front covers, but nowhere else). Photojunction hides it completely because we want to show you what the album will look like - no distractions! Anyway what you on screen is exactly what you'll see in the album. Take a look at the image panel of the tools window. To View More >>

Yesterday we hosted our second intro to Queensberry's plug-in for Aperture 3 webinar. Danny and Stephen explained the history behind the project and demonstrated the plug-in, covering everything from downloading and installing the plug-in to ordering an album. If you missed the live presentation not to worry, we've just uploaded a recording to our Vimeo Channel. Or you can stick around and watch it right here. (To watch it in full screen and high definition click here.) Cheers, Nigel PS. Haven't heard about Queensberry's new plug-in for Aperture 3? It allows professional photographers To View More >>

Andrew Gardner posted a thoughtful comment on a recent post of mine in which I talked about a member of the public asking if I would sell her a Queensberry album. He's concerned that Queensberry's aim to build their brand amongst brides might turn the albums into a commodity and encourage discounting (eg "click here for cheapest QBY albums!") His thoughts probably reflect the concerns of many photographers. He says, Obviously we can't be complacent and we should always be thinking of unique and original ways to make ourselves stand out. But I have a niggling feeling that what Queensberry thought To View More >>

I am writing this while wearing my studio owner's hat. We received this email today: Hi, I am looking to buy a queensberry album 15x15, black leather with names embossed on the front. I think you can only buy these albums through photographers and I was wondering if you sell them? Thanks, This email confirms two things for us That (1) amongst the general public there is an awareness/recognition of, and a demand for, the Queensberry brand, and (2) that Queensberry are not selling direct to the public. Both of these things validate our choice of Queensberry as our album supplier. Enough said Cheers, To View More >>

Seen this? It's called an iPad ;) From my geeky point-of-view (with a Photojunction bias of course) I'm gutted it doesn't run OS X, and therefore OS X apps.... What a shame. Would've been cool to see Photojunction run on the tablet. Here's hoping they open it up a little in future. Anyway, back to work to focus on 'low lying fruit' (a favourite saying of mine).
