Over the past few weeks we've been working on resources to help support you with your marketing. Today we're launching our first Social Media Marketing Kit.  This first kit includes twelve unique designs for sales promotions. As you can see it's focused on albums and prints, but it's easy to swap out the text and images in Photoshop for your own purposes. They can be used on Instagram and Facebook, or included in your marketing ads.  Over the next few weeks we'll be launching more resources, so stay tuned. We hope you like them!   Download the pack below, To View More >>

Matted prints are proving to be a great sales tools within the professional photographer community, and since Sue Bryce introduced her 'reveal wall' sales technique, photographers have been jumping on this for their own studios. Our Studio Boxes and Slip-in mats are designed so you can stock up with products, and order your Queensberry prints separately. The prints will only take a few days to arrive depending on whether you want us to colour correct or not … or of course you could print your own. Either way, you'll be able to schedule a sales consultation/photo To View More >>

Maybe you can even help your clients envisage their purchase by using images from their own shoot. It's quick and easy in Photoshop, and we'll To View More >>

Last week we were enjoying drinks and nibbles with some photographers in the Design Space, and they asked, why all the pictures on the walls? The short answer: We’re visual people and we need visual prompts. The long answer: It’s part of our design process. We fill walls with things that inspire us, projects we’re working on and ideas for the future. They remind us what we’re up to and where we’re going. Workspace has been our main focus as designers this year. We’re a small team, and it seemed a daunting task. “Where do we start?” we thought — To View More >>

Modern cameras have sensors capable of producing big, beautiful images. They output files that can make large wall portraits without effort. But what happens when you want the image to be smaller, as in an album? What happens when you downsize a file that's big enough to print a large wall portrait, to create a 3x2" image on a page layout? When you export your images from Photojunction for printing, the software runs an automatic Photoshop process that resizes them and places them into a PSD file. The images are enlarged or reduced, and positioned to suit how you want them to appear on the To View More >>

Ok it's not the same as getting a new iPhone for Christmas but for the inner Photojunction tech support geek it gets pretty close. Same with all you power users out there I reckon. For me the big one is the first... A new shortcut for choosing standard aperture sizes Instead of selecting an aperture size from the pop-up menu you can now use keyboard shortcuts to increase or decrease an aperture to the next standard size. • For Mac OSX Command+Shift+I and Command+Shift+K • For Windows Control+Shift+I and Control+Shift+K. Next we have not one, not two but three new right-click functions [caption To View More >>

We have released a new Queensberry colour profile to simplify your workflow. Changes to the profile itself are minor. The difference is that until now we've distributed paper-specific colour profiles (Lustre, Metallic etc). That became unwieldy with the introduction of multiple paper stocks for our inkjet and digital offset printers. We now offer a single soft-proofing colour profile, and make adjustments at Queensberry depending on the print and paper options you have requested. WHAT TO DO You can download our profile from this page. With Aperture and Lightroom, simply follow the software's directions To View More >>

Marcus Bell is one of our long time friends, like when PJ Retro was the new big thing. When he's not busy running (the highly acclaimed and successful) Studio Impressions he's speaking at seminars and conferences. Marcus is running seminars in late February around Australia and New Zealand. A visit to one of the seminars will be well worth it, as Marcus will be "Sharing his knowledge and secrets from the last ten years, including The art of capturing emotive award winning Images, fine art printing, photoshop techniques and workflow. Creating images and products that sell themselves, plus much more..." To View More >>

I saw that my peach tree was starting to blossom today. Which in one way is cool, but in another it sucks, because we've just sold our house, so no summer fruit for me. Anyway, for us down here in little ol' New Zealand it means summer is on its way and the wedding season is just about to begin. For those of you up north it means that your wedding seasons will be starting to draw to a close, and those album orders will start rolling in. So just a reminder… Before you send your album layouts in, give them a once over. You'd be amazed what you can pick up on when you view your exported layouts To View More >>

Johannes has been posting on Queensberry Connects for several months now. It's been great to have a regular photographer perspective, and personally we've found his insights and opinions inspiring. We asked him to contribute to our interview series by sharing his thoughts on album design. In the conversation, Ian asks him to expand on several posts he's written about the benefits of getting to know your clients before the wedding, and his "six secrets" to designing a great album... He also questions Johannes about how he interacts with his clients, his workflow and the part Photoshop plays. To View More >>
