The Junction


Archive for December, 2008

Photojunction Remix 1.22 Beta has been released with the addition of a pretty exciting new feature. You can now easily move Projects anywhere you like!

So what have we done?

We’ve changed the structure a bit. Everything – the client/event/album data – is now stored in a client folder; or what we’ve called a ‘portable project’.

By default these are still saved and managed by us in one sensible location, but you have the option to move these portable projects anywhere you like (even to a networked server so more than one user/computer can work on them efficiently).

Photojunction will even try to keep track of portable projects for you as you move them around.

Here’s a short tutorial movie to help get you started with Portable Projects.

And here are the release notes for v 1.22, listing the normal tweaks and fixes.

Cheers, Danny

Ian likes his car. It feels like the manufacturers had him in mind when they designed it. It feels good. It seems to know what he needs. It thinks for him. It’s a pleasure to drive.

Enough about the car, but if you read this blog regularly you’ll know we want PJ Remix to be like that: to think like you, look out for you, be a pleasure to drive.

For example, when you’re working with lots of images it can get tricky keeping track of the ones you’ve used in your album design, so Remix remembers the images you’ve used and highlights their filenames for you, like this. Pretty smart ha?

Unused versus Used…

Psst… Ian didn’t realise we’d done this, and reported the new feature as a bug ;-)

vimeo-3 If you’ve already checked out the Photojunction channel on Vimeo, you may have been wishing, like me, that the      video was better quality! Well it is. Here’s what to do. First, get into full-screen mode by clicking on the little    button   in the very bottom right-hand corner of the screen (above).

 Then, make sure your settings look like they do on the left. In other words, HD is on and scaling is off (if you can’t    see the controls, roll over the video area with your mouse and they’ll appear).

 Once you do that your video will look like the introductory webinar we recorded (below – click on the image to see it  in all its glory: much better quality!)

 HTH, Ian

PS Even in a busy airport lounge with gazillions of people on the wireless connection, the video played back well. Thank you Vimeo.

Just quietly, our first crack at hosting webinars was pretty successful. We had heaps of interest and received some really great feedback. We also had lots of requests to record them and make them available online to watch. So here you go…

Click here to watch an ‘Intro to PJ’ webinar (59mins)

We’ve only uploaded one of the four webinars we ran because they all covered the same content.

You’ll hear Danny and I answering questions that attendees were asking via a chat function (much like Sykpe). You won’t see the questions or comments that came in during the webinar but you’ll get the gist of them by the way they’re answered.

Enjoy it and hope to see you at future webinars!

Cheers, Nigel
