Made By Hand from Queensberry on Vimeo. Want to see what goes into making a Queensberry? We commissioned this brief movie as a way to say thank you to all the terrific people who make our albums … and who make us so proud. Johannes shot the images as he and I walked through the Queensberry Lab and Bindery one afternoon. The photography is all real and unstaged. Johannes created the video and set it to music by Amy Seeley, who has a lot of new fans. Thanks again to everyone involved, including the host of Queensberry photographers whose work you can glimpse along the way. Cheers, Ian PS If you To View More >>

Have you seen the movie Hitchcock yet? Even without hobbits, elves and superheroes it's very entertaining. Alfred Hitchcock and his wife Alma were a family business, as many people reading this probably are, and it's interesting to watch the movie through that lens... 1. The movie focuses on the making of Psycho. No one else believed in the project, so they mortgaged their house to make it. Sound familiar? 2. They worked best when they worked together. He was the famous one but Alma was clearly important to his success. 3. They made Psycho come alive in the editing room by arguing about the little To View More >>

You know something's been done right when its simplicity takes you by surprise ... either that or something's wrong! If I told you something that previously needed its own piece of software can now be done with the click of a button, would you believe me? It's true. Over the past couple of months the guys at Photojunction have been developing a feature especially for Queensberry clients. They've integrated the FTP process into Photojunction and released it in the latest release of Photojunction, beta 1.26b. Ordering and sending your album is now one smooth, easy process.

New York Times technology writer David Pogue proposed to his partner last night - with the help of a fake movie trailer, a hidden camera and some incredibly well-timed editing. It's definitely worth the watch: Pogue's Proposal from david pogue on Vimeo. To View More >>

Every now and then I see an "About" page that I particularly like, such as Amanda's at Orchard Cove Photography. It features this photograph, which she says "captures me and my brother running up the hill at my Grandma’s house when I was two years old. When my Grandma passed away, I found the photo framed in her bathroom. It now hangs in my bedroom." Amanda says that one image calls back countless memories of her grandmother, "playing with her dogs, exploring her movie collection, leafing through her scrapbooks, eating her famous tuna salad, feeding the birds, jumping on her bed, and trying To View More >>

If you haven't noticed, when you upload your images they can do so at different speeds, and then show up in Workspace out of order. So how do we "sort" this out? Well there are two parts to it. Are you wanting to sort your Collection in Workspace, or do you want to change the order your images appear on your website, eg in a slideshow? Sorting the Collection. Just above your thumbnail images there are options to sort by file name, date or manually. To change the order manually, just drag the image thumbnail to a new position. Pretty straightforward stuff. Sorting for your website. This takes a To View More >>

If you've already got a website, do you need a Workspace site as well? Workspace is a really handy platform for selling your photography, designing and proofing your albums, and sharing your work online to build your business. So yes, we think Workspace will be a great business asset, especially since we make it all about YOU. Your brand is the star of the show. Instead of sending people to a generic Queensberry/Workspace corporate site to view their albums and images, Workspace lets you 'brand' the web pages and even integrate it completely with your existing site. This movie explains how to To View More >>

We're working hard on systems to make designing, ordering and printing your albums easier.  The latest thing we've done is commission PJ to add some features to Remix just for us. They’re in the latest final release - v1.2 - and they’re awesome: “Smart filtering” to avoid invalid selections when you order an album. A simpler version of LabFTP to use with Remix – no asking dumb questions when PJ already knows the answers. Dramatically better handling of Duo albums (here’s a movie , but really, it’s so simple you probably don’t need it). Remix now handles “cut-in” apertures! To View More >>

As they say it's good to share, and that is one of the fundamental reasons why Workspace was created. We wanted to give you the opportunity to share your images with your clients in a fast simple way, whether you're selling them with our shopping cart, giving clients a way to to choose the images they'd like in their albums, or simply getting more people on your website. So select your Collection  and click the share button. Brilliant stuff!! But wait, there's more. We're talking about sharing your images, not giving them away, so you need to think before you share. For example, how many images To View More >>
