The Photojunction Start Window's new tabbed menu design gives you direct, easy to understand access to your work. From left to right... Until now the Start Window displayed events and products, which confused some people. Now the 'Recent' tab only displays recent products (ie albums, slideshows, proof sheets). If you still want to access your clients or events click on Browse tab, which looks and acts as the browse window always has... Finally, with its very own tab the Upload window is much more obvious. Near the bottom of the screen you'll see we've also added a live feed from our blog, The Junction, To View More >>

Every time I go out to buy something I start thinking about ... Marketing. Sorry. Anyway, a new camera is on the cards, a point-and-shoot (I'm not a photographer, OK!) I know what I want in a camera, I've done my homework and I've whittled down the list to a couple or three that all fit my criteria. They all offer me great image quality, enough control and they cost about the same. I'm not a camera brand 'fan-boy' so I'd be happy with any of them. How do I decide which one to buy? I don't know. But when I go out to buy, one of them will tip the scales in some way. Reputation, customer service To View More >>

I've just been dealing with a frustrated user.  The abridged version... He designed an album in PJ then exported PSDs. He then flattened the PSDs and imported them into ALBUM_CO_X's software for ALBUM_CO_X to make. That is frustrating for me on all sorts of levels - mostly because I tried (and failed) to convince ALBUM_CO_X not to waste time and money developing their own album planning tool... but that's a different story. The album came back with a border around every page, about a quarter inch in from the edge.  Somewhere between this client and ALBUM_CO_X's software the print files that ALBUM_CO_X To View More >>

Do you know how many people are too busy to design albums? Or are under-confident about album design? Or can't figure out the PJ alignment tools (surely not)? ;) And do you know how many people have downloaded Photojunction since we made it free? I didn't think so. But that adds up to a big market ... and you already have the templates. All you need to do is add them to the Store. Just do it. Cheers, Danny (motivational expert). There you go ... #437 ... just a few gaps to fill in. Got more? To View More >>

You can change your product listings any time, so feel free to experiment. Prices too high? Lower them. Reckon you can charge more? Raise them. Want to jazz up your blurb? Do it. Want more templates per collection? Or to include more thumbnails? Or add thumbnail images...? Well you might need to delete the old product and add a new one. But it's quick and easy and worth the effort to get it right. Next tip. Cheers, Danny (the pragmatist). To View More >>

Where do you start when planning a wedding? I've no idea... You'll have to ask Kayla! But one of the first things I remember was sitting down and setting our priorities. And the reason I remember is because I think it's probably one of the most valuable things we did. What I mean by 'setting our priorities' is that Kayla and I decided we needed to figure out what aspects of our wedding day were most important to us... other than the reception (the most expensive part). We each wrote down our top two priorities - things we considered deserved the most time, money and/or effort. The idea was that To View More >>

And dare I say it, 'Free' is pretty popular... Danny's throwaway line got a few negative reactions ... despite Wired's Chris Anderson saying "free" is the default price on the internet. And PJ is free, right? (We explained why here.) The counter argument is that sure, we all like free stuff ... but templates save you time by utilising the fruits of other people's. And that justifies the cost. I totally agree, but still people persist in giving stuff away online. Open source software ... free reports about how to take your business online ... the list is endless. Sometimes free comes without strings To View More >>

Talk about your products. Tweet, Facebook, blog whatever. We're doing our bit to promote the store, but it's your job to get them to come to you. And don't just talk about your own templates. Talk about the "Photojunction Store" itself. More in the Store. The more the merrier. Next tip. Danny (social media man) To View More >>
