How do you know what size and shape to make an album cover image? How do you account for the aspect ratio and cover wrap-around (the part of the image you can't see)? If it sounds hard, it's not. Just design the cover in PJ Remix. It's exactly like designing pages only easier. You can see the aspect ratio and the wrap-around. And problems rarely occur because it's so obvious when images don't fit. We've already blogged about album covers, especially here and here, so we won't repeat ourselves. If you're not sure how to send us the image there's a link about that too. To View More >>

All software evolves as new features are added and new versions released. Photojunction and Photoshop are no exception, and, as PJ takes advantage of more, often newer, features of Photoshop, its "backwards compatibility" with older versions is lessened. That's why we recommend that you use Photoshop CS3 or later with Photojunction. If you use CS2 or even earlier, chances are that it will work fine, but you may occasionally find that some PSD files don't import correctly as images or templates, or that you get error messages when exporting with PS scripting. If that happens, all Support can do To View More >>

The purpose of our recent survey was to get a better picture of how you're using the software, and the features most important to you. It turns out you use Photojunction to design albums for almost a hundred album suppliers that we don't even offer resources for - no wonder a third of you "always" use Remix DIY! It's also clear that unless you're one of Queensberry's clients you're most likely using PJ primarily to design and export page layouts. That's not so surprising. Getting past "page design" requires a lot of input from vendors, and unfortunately they're much less engaged with PJ than their To View More >>

We emerged from last week's webinar with six new classroom movies. Not bad for an hours work! Here they are, posted to our Vimeo channel. - Start here! (Photojunction overview) - Download and set up Photojunction - Start New Project (begin an album) - Set up the work space (to suit your computer) - Organise your images (using the Event window) - Design an album (getting started) This week we aim to cover another five or six topics. You'll find all the details on our webinar schedule here. I know you Photojunction experts are hankering for the advanced classroom movies... At this rate, we'll be To View More >>

Danny's away at the moment so I'm going to steal one of his lines... Photojunction knows it can't be Photoshop, so doesn't try to be. It harnesses the power of Photoshop instead. Photojunction works seamlessly with Photoshop, allowing you to open an image or a layout in Photoshop from within Photojunction, work on it, then re-import it back into Photojunction. But how it works depends on whether you're working with your layouts (what you're designing) or your images (what you're designing with), so I'm going to split this topic into two posts. Today we'll look how to work with Photoshop to edit To View More >>
