Hi All, we need a favour.

Our newest recruit, Angelique, is taking some time off to have a baby. (Congrats again to Angelique and Pete.)

But while Angelique is off on leave we’ll need a temporary replacement to help with Photojunction support – answering emails, phone calls, tweets, and Facebook posts (with a dash of blogging).

You can work from home (as New Zealand can be a killer commute) and use your own computer. Other than that we’ll sort you out with software and a phone to get the job done.

Here are a few details:

- Monday – Friday, 9am – 3pm EST (If you can’t figure out how those hours map to your time zone then it’s probably not the right job for you ).

- This is a temporary contract expected to end in mid May.

- You should know Photojunction well as we’d like to get you up and going ASAP.

- Excellent written and verbal English.

If you’re interested, tell us why you’d be a great fit: danny@queensberry.com.

Cheers
Danny

You may have noticed we’ve released Photojunction Remix 1.46 Final.

Thanks to changes we made to our bug reporting systems in version 1.45, we’ve been able to track down and resolve quite a few elusive bugs in 1.46.

A noteworthy one was an error when communicating to Photoshop – ‘OLE Exception’.  We’ve done this by adding a ‘Default Photoshop’ preference, which tells Photojunction which version to talk to, and automatically filling it in (look in general preferences).

By the way if you see a message when you export saying ‘please select a valid photoshop executable file in preferences’ this is what PJ is asking you to do. And if PJ is opening the wrong version of Photoshop, you know where to look.

Just be sure to select the .app or the .exe Photoshop file and not just the folder.

Back to work

Cheers, Danny

PS If you’ve updated Photojunction and saw an error window with a message “Photojunction was updating the main database…” – don’t worry. It won’t effect anything and won’t show up again.

With the recent launch of the Queensberry Press and a new final version of Photojunction (1.45), we’ve got lots to talk about.

To start, this Thursday @ 9am (NZDT) we’re running a “how-to” Intro to Photojunction webinar to introduce the new final version 1.45 – we’ll demo using a new Queensberry Press Book.

Here are Thursday’s times:

AUSTRALIA (East coast) –  Thurs 7:00 AM
NEW ZEALAND – Thurs 9:00 AM
UK – Wed 8:00 PM
USA (West Coast) –  Wed 1:00 PM
USA (East Coast) – Wed 4:00 PM

See you there!

Our dear friend, Ian.

Most of you haven’t met him, but there’s a good chance he’s saved your bacon once or twice.

Ian Cameron has been a crucial member of the Photojunction team, and is leaving us to head back down-the-line to his home town.

The trend in the tech industry is to skip jobs every 18 months or so looking for the new best thing, but that hasn’t been the case for us and certainly not for Ian. Ian has been with us for 6 years, I hazard a guess he’s answered over 40,000 emails and 12,000 phone calls! This doesn’t include tireless work on resources, bug busting, and in the ol’ days, CD burning.

Ian, mate – thanks for the years and years of support, and we wish you the absolute best going forward.

Cheers

Danny (on behalf of everyone at Photojunction and Queensberry)

PS If Ian has helped you out once or twice and left an impression please let him know by leaving a comment.

PPS Looking forward to our Final Kebab!

In our latest beta we’ve been doing all the normal things like fixing bugs and tweaking the Queensberry order process but you can read about that in our release notes – I’m excited and I want to jump to our headline!

Imagine being able to present your album online and get your clients’ feedback and approval from directly within Photojunction.

Photojunction has teamed up with albumexposure, the contagiously easy online album proofing tool. We’ve integrated things so you can register with albumexposure directly in Photojunction and upload your design from PJ to your albumexposure account in just a moment or two.

AND when your clients comment on the proofs you’ll see their comments in Photojunction! It’s amazing and we should’ve done this sooner (thanks to @jeffyoungren for suggesting it).

So download and fire up v1.38b. You’ll find a new pane in Preferences where you can register with albumexposure, or you can get going on the fly while you’re album planning.

You can also watch a short 6min demo video on our Youtube or Vimeo channels.

Please do check out albumexposure. It’s an awesome service. We met Jared and Gary at WPPI, they’re great guys and they’re offering free test drives!

Cheers, Danny

PS Yep, you can proof your Queensberry albums this way – or any other vendor you’re using if you like.

PPS: Think of this as the last in our tips-and-tricks series on PJ’s presentation tools!
