We are about to release a new version of Photojunction that will no longer support Macintosh pre-Intel PowerPCs, which were discontinued in 2006. This is necessary so that we can upgrade the Photojunction development environment, which no longer supports PowerPCs. If you are running a Windows PC you won't be affected. If you're running an Intel-based Mac you won't be affected either. All Macs have been Intel-based since 2007, so if your computer is newer than that you're fine. If you're not sure you can check by going to About This Mac under the Apple menu. We have announced that this is coming To View More >>

Warning: Your high-res files are missing! At one stage or another in your relationship with Photojunction I'm sure you've encountered this warning. If it was a popularity contest it would end up below car salesmen, cold callers and politicians. But love it (nobody) or hate it (everybody) it's there for a good reason. Photojunction travels along paths. It follows those paths to locate, use and update the proxy images, hi res files and exports created as you work. The rules are simple. If you don't move, rename or delete your files and folders, Photojunction will find them. But life isn't simple, To View More >>

Since you're reading The Junction, you're probably pretty much up with the play on Photojunction, and this post won't apply to you. Here goes anyway. Maybe you can pass it on to a friend who needs it! Believe it or not there are still people out there using Photojunction Retro. If you don't know what Retro is, it's a very cool program that was state of the art five years ago, when it was replaced by Remix. All I can say is let it go. Just like Don Johnson's stubble and no socks policy in Miami Vice, it's had its day. The kindest thing you can do is put it down. Seriously, if you want up to date To View More >>

Let's face it, if you don't import images into Workspace then not a lot is going to happen. Unless you're just using it to proof the albums you've designed in Photojunction, that is. So let's start at the Dashboard, and click New Event. The first thing Workspace will ask for is an Event name. This could be your clients' names. Click Create Event. Once you have done that, click Add Images To Event, and browse for your files. The maximum size for a file is 28MB, and it needs to be a JPEG or TIFF. But choose a size that's suitable for what you want to use it for – no bigger, or you'll be using To View More >>

Have you had a look at our Knowledge base in Workspace? It covers not just information about Workspace, but also Photojunction, Queensberry products and our printing and design services. There are also tutorial videos to help you with various Photojunction topics. Our tech and client support teams cover lots of topics on a daily basis, and don't get me wrong, we love to hear from you, but the answer you're looking for could be just at the tips of your fingers. As they say let your fingers do the walking. If you have had a look and can't find what you need to please don't hesitate to email us at To View More >>

Things have a habit of creeping up on you, as our friends at Seldex have reminded us by sending an email to their clients reminding them that come July they won't be able to use Photojunction's cover design and Send Order functions. (We announced as much here back in February.) We've counted Seldex as friends for years – in fact they sold Queensberry albums in Australia back in the day! - so this is a rather sad time, the culmination of a process that started to unfold a couple of years ago when we realised that most suppliers weren't going to support PJ as a universal album design tool, which To View More >>

Having worked on the Photojunction help desk for the last six weeks I have had a very good chance to look more closely at this great piece of software. I have seen the problems people have with it. The problems fall into three categories ... The software, the user, the computer. The software is good. Actually it is really good. It's not perfect, but with every iteration it gets better, and if it was ever perfect the developers would be out of a job. It has weaknesses but they are outweighed by its strengths. It could never be perfect because it is constantly evolving to meet the needs of a changing To View More >>

By default Photojunction keeps its main database and your template and project files in a folder called "Photojunction" on your computer. You can move the folder to a new location, but by default you'll find it here: Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:Program DataPhotojunction Windows XP: C:Document and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataPhotojunction Mac: Macintosh HD:Users:Shared:Photojunction: If you're shifting to a new computer, just move the ENTIRE FOLDER to the equivalent location on the new machine. Some people may have moved their PJ Project files (client/event/album data) to a different location. To View More >>

Danny's Last Day from Photojunction on Vimeo. Ian talks to Danny about successes and frustrations; wow features he wishes he'd plugged in the webinars; how to be a happy software user (any software); how and why PJ differs from layout programs like InDesign; and why you can depend on the PJ support and development teams.

I have taken up a temporary position helping out with the Photojunction support team. One thing that I have noticed is that people seem to have more problems with the mechanics of Photojunction not fitting into their own experience or habits. Hardly ever does anybody ask for design advice. I wonder if it is the same with photography. People will ask about technical things like lighting and composition but much less often about content and emotion. ARE WE TOO SHY? I don't think so! As photographers we are called upon to be the creative voice for our clients. Is it that we don't like to ask for help? To View More >>
