This video by Zack Arias for Scott Kelby's Photoshop Insider touched a chord for me. If you haven't seen it it is worth the five minutes to do the journey. Zack Arias is one of the speakers at Photoshop World in March 2010. Cheers, Johannes PS Trust him, this is good ... but it's more than 5 minutes - Ian To View More >>

I always enjoy Tom Fishburne's Brand Camp, and his latest cartoon makes a timely point. We've just finished Queensberry "Sales Week", where we we bring together our Account Managers and Support People from round the world to talk with the Design and IT teams, the Bindery, the Lab and Order Processing - and to each other of course. Like many of our clients, some of our people work alone most of the time and they enjoy the chance to mix it up. If that's the right expression – actually I admire the way everyone works so well together! But it's hard work for them. I was with them for a day, and To View More >>

Huge thanks to all for sending your orders in ahead of the deadline. In contrast to earlier years we had the surge processed and into our systems within a day or two, and despite another significant increase in volume, we're better placed than last year to handle it. Talking to people since it's apparent that at least some of you have held back orders because you know you've "missed the deadline." Well - early Christmas present - we can cope with more! Don't forget we're back a week earlier this year as well. If you get in quickly by confirming orders that are still in the system, or sending in To View More >>

Happy New year - we're back! Well we've had the traditional Kiwi summer holiday - rested up, enjoyed the beach (and shopping!), spent time with friends and family. Now we're back and ready to rock 'n roll! We hope you managed to enjoy the holiday season too - we look forward to catching up in 2008. Best wishes from everyone at Queensberry We shot this at the Bindery close-down BBQ - just in time - some of us had already disappeared to the shops! Nice of Santa to stop by and let his hair down. The lab reckon Christmas isn't Christmas without sun and a picnic. To View More >>

We've been off-line since the weekend – nearing the end of a fraught server upgrade! We apologise for the lack of communication. One of the consequences is that we haven't been able to read your mail in support suite - it's there but we can't access it - but at least there are still flesh and blood people working on your albums, and we'll email everyone as soon as we're up and running again. Shouldn't be long. To View More >>

Good morning. We’re moving QBY Connects from its previous home on blogger.com to WordPress. You’ll get re-directed automatically (if you're reading this on the site itself you're already there) but if you notice anything “broken” (links, images etc) could you please let us know? We're going through reviewing everything systematically, but it’s a big job and you never know. Cheers, Ian PS This shift will give us the opportunity to enhance the site over time. If you have suggestions, please let us know. To View More >>

We're proud to announce that New Zealand’s two specialist Pro Labs are to merge. Bob and Lena Tulloch have decided it’s time to exit the lab business after twenty-seven years so they can focus on their studio and gallery in Mt Maunganui. They are delighted that the Super-Lab operation will become part of Queensberry’s lab services. Bob says, “After so many years of personal involvement in the printing business this will inevitably be a wrench, but we are personally committed to making the transition a success for Super-Lab clients. Queensberry has the same commitment as Super-Lab to quality, To View More >>
