We recently released the lastest final version of Photojunction 1.30 which represents plenty of new features, work and changes.

You can read all about it here.

A couple of days ago we quietly released another final version of Photojunction 1.31, which doesn’t include any big changes, just lots of awesome little ones – and builds on version 1.30.

We’re happy with the progress we’ve made since the last final we released about 8 months ago, so now we’re going to focus on keeping things simple for you during the silly season.

Refinement will be our priority.

Cheers, Danny

This is an exciting day.

We’ve just released a new final version of Photojunction Remix (1.30) and in it, we introduce the new Photojunction Store.

Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, this has huge potential.

An ‘online marketplace’ may be a better name as the store enables you to buy and sell templates, actions and e-books – or whatever you think other photographers may be interested in.

Since we made Photojunction free our active user base, downloads and registrations have all jumped dramatically. Partnering with the Photojunction Store offers you a way to reach those masses, sell your products, and boost your income in the process.

It not an entirely new concept; if you’re familiar with iTunes or the Apple App Store for iPhones then you’ll know how an online store works. The potential is huge.

You won’t need to be a ‘rock star’ to get noticed, we’ll feature items each week that stand out to us. And there’s a spot on the home page for recently added templates to give newbies some great exposure.

Selling an item is easy – clicking the big Sell button inside the store allows you to outline the details of your item, upload it and send to us for review.

When it’s been approved and we’re ready to release it in the store, we’ll let you know.

From there we look after everything else. At the end of the month, or when your account exceeds USD$50, we’ll pay out any sales you’ve made, less our 30% commission for the sale.

To check out the Photojunction Store and start selling your work, download the latest version of Photojunction (version 1.30) and click the Photojunction Store button on the home screen.

We strongly recommend you read our terms and conditions before you start buying or selling. You’ll find them in the Licence Agreement.

We’ll be posting more information, videos and updates about the Store over the next couple of weeks here on The Juncton so keep an eye out.

Let us know what you think. We’re always keen for feedback and ideas.

Cheers, Danny

Remix Final 1.30 is the combination of six months hard work, four beta releases and invaluable feedback from our loyal community… It’s the most comprehensive, intuitive and effective version of Photojunction Remix we’ve ever released. We hope you’ll think so too.

But first up, here’s a quick review of the major features first released in the beta releases since 1.25.

Remix beta 1.26: A feature packed release which included text functionality, importing PSD’s as templates and images, and proof sheets.

Remix beta 1.27: The game changer – new interface, managed workflow and built in FTP to deliver complete, accurate, valid orders first time. Here’s a short video.

So what’s brand new in 1.30?

The Photojunction Store

This one’s a biggie so it gets it’s own blog post. Check out the Photojunction Store here.

A new problem reporter

Photojunction’s new Problem Reporter displays details of any problems it detects with your order which may need to be resolved before moving on to the Export Layout or Send Order stages of the process. Double clicking on an item will take you directly to the issue that needs attention.

Two types of problems are displayed by the Problem Reporter :

1. Issues that must be corrected before you continue (marked with a red ‘X’) – this is something that your album supplier or lab needs resolved before they can produce your album, such as information or a cover image that’s missing.

2. Warnings, which you can choose to ignore (marked with a yellow ‘!’) – for example alignment issues that Photojunction thinks you may like to check before moving on.

Warnings can be ignored by ticking the ‘Ignore Warnings’ box in the bottom right corner of the Problem Reporter once all ‘must fix’ issues have been resolved.

If you’d rather fix up issues as you go, click the Export layouts tab from the top navigation to display the Problem Reporter window. Hitting the ‘Refresh List’ button will update  the list of problems as they either appear or are corrected.

Enhanced image sorting

This one’s an enhancement to a feature we introduced in beta release 1.26 – manually sorting images.

Photojunction can now manually sort images in each of your Groups and Collections, so if you’ve wanted to sort images differently in your slideshows than in your albums, for example, you now can. And you can go back to sorting by file name or time and date whenever you like.

Finally, if you’re a Queensberry client you might like to check out this Queensberry Connects post about how to send a design order using the latest version – simplicity itself.
