Stephen and I are planning to attend Photokina as visitors (not exhibitors).

We’d love to catch up one night and chat – maybe over a beer.

We offered you PJ Remix free for twelve months in return for a review on your blog or forum, and we’ve noticed quite a few already. Thank you!

But Karen Dahlquist went the extra mile. Karen is an album designer with lots of professional experience using both Retro and Remix, and she offers lots of thoughtful commentary. Thank you Karen. If we say so ourselves, it’s worth a read.

Apologies to Woodsy for messing with his image.

Looking for a friend at your place

We have a really great deal for everyone. Click here…

Always on my mind in Thailand.

Defending you against the slings and arrows of outrageous workflow.

We like making new features almost as much as you like using them. And after working on the final release for so long it’s good to be working on new stuff again.

For instance, today we’ve…

- Vamped up our automated testing system.
- Prototyped a new feature (one that’s very heavily requested).
- Dreamed up a cool solution to a long standing “quirk”.
- Contacted new album companies.

I bet this is a bit like shooting pictures for you. I mean how much time per week do you really get behind a camera?

Cheers, Danny

Charles “The Storyteller” said… Version 1.10 has been a lifesaver. We are designing albums with much ease and love the simplicity of PJ Remix. I can’t wait to get our new duo album. Here is a link to the design (nice work – and the new version will fade the music – Ian).

Aran Anderson Photography said… The new templates are great on Remix. I have been waiting for an album design program to work with Asuka Books and thank god you have done it! You are ahead of the competition, good work!

rexyinc said… Oh no no no no! … You have no idea how bad this move is going to make me look in front of my bosses! … What used to take me a week or more to do by hand, now takes just a couple of hours with Photojunction … Now what am I going to do with the other five days of the week?

Ever wonder what goes into adding an “easy” new feature?

Case Study: Our thumbnails truncate the file names if they’re too long to display, like this:

That’s not very useful if you store important information at the end of the file name. Umm?

EASY! Just reverse it, so we get “…end.jpg” instead of “start…”

Nope. Maybe having the end without the start isn’t so useful either. Hmm?

EASY! I’ve seen other awesome apps do this. Let’s put ‘etc’ marks in the middle, like this: “star..end.jpg”

Nope. Turns out we’re using the smallest font and still it’s not quite right when the thumbnails are small. Hmm?

EASY! Let’s strip the file extension if there isn’t room for it! “start..end”

So the final result is…

After so much debate, let’s hope we got it right.

If you read Junction News No. 1*, you’ll know we’re giving away a 12-month PJ Remix subscription free every month. This month’s freebie goes to the person who writes the best Comment on this blog.

We’ve enjoyed what we’ve read so far, both funny and thoughtful, so Danny’s Aunt Dorothy has missed out
