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

This is easier than you can imagine. If you want to design in front of a client, but hide all the tools and wizardry of Photojunction, then you can recruit the services of the Review Layout feature.

Here’s how:

Select the ‘Album Menu’ and click ‘Review Layout’

Or for the shortcut type:

• On Mac: Apple + Shift + R
• On Windows: Ctrl + Shift + R

And, yep, it uses the smart full screen feature, which means you can design on one screen while your clients follow along on another.

Photojunction loves being double clicked. Everywhere.

Double click on any of the following:

An image in the design window…

An image in the crop tool…

An image in the event window…

…And Photojunction will blow the image up full screen for better viewing. On your second monitor if you have one.

Before we get going talking about presentation, I wanted to introduce a nice common sense feature. Smart Full Screen.

It’s at the crux of most of the presentation features to come.

Whenever you ask Photojunction to display something fullscreen, Photojunction automatically detects your second monitor (if you have one) and uses that monitor to display the full screen – by default.

Primary Monitor                                                    Secondary Monitor

If you don’t have a second monitor, of course the features still work on your single monitor. Photojunction will just display the full screen on top of everything else.

P.s. To close the full screen mode – just hit esc.

Everyone wants to know about ‘presenting to clients’… It’s one of our most asked about feature sets.

Since we’re big fans of mini-series (like Band of brothers, The Pacific, and our Template store tips), over the next few weeks we’re going to look into some of Photojunction’s cool features to help you present to your clients.

We’ll cover all sorts of things like using the Collection Builder, creating Slideshows, exporting Proof Sheets and plenty more.

Talk soon

A good question about templates came up in one of our recent webinars and we want to cover it for everyone…

If you drag and drop an album template onto a different sized layout, Photojunction (normally) treats the apertures as a ‘Group’ and scales them down (or up) to fit them into the layout.

That means a 7×5 aperture on a 12×12 template (for example) would be scaled to an irregular size if you dropped it onto a 14×10 layout, and could require some adjustment.

Here’s a little catch. Because Photojunction drops apertures onto a new layout as a ‘Group’, you’ll need to first ‘Ungroup‘ them before you can edit each aperture individually.

Now that’s great, but how can you drop a template onto a different sized layout, but retain the apertures’ original size?

By holding the SHIFT key while dropping the template onto the new layout. Photojunction will retain the apertures’ original sizes and spacing (so long as the new layout isn’t too small) and treat each aperture as separate (ungrouped).

Here’s an example to demonstrate the difference. A 12×12 template of four 3.5×3.5 apertures has been dropped onto both sides of this 14×10 layout.

The ‘Group’ of apertures on the left have been adjusted down in size to account for the reduced height of this layout, while the apertures on the right, dropped holding the SHIFT key, have retained their original size (3.5×3.5).

This SHIFT key trick is particularly useful if your album supplier charges for non-standard aperture sizes on matted albums, or if you want to use particular aperture groupings in a variety of album sizes.

We cover this and plenty of other useful tips, tricks and power features in a recent webinar we recorded and uploaded to our Vimeo channel here.
