This will be our third release in three months - notice a trend? The last two were betas adding the new features you've wanted and now this final builds on them to give a stable platform to start 2010.  So to jog your memory here are a few of our favourites... Photojunction 1.32b (release notes) Alignment got some serious attention (accuracy, stickiness, and clarity) Centering got smart (wings, flips, and panoramic) "Undo" got a speed boost ('nuf said) Photojunction 1.33b (release notes) Start window got a makeover (uploads, blog, store and more) Instant Slideshow got resurrected from Retro To View More >>

We have discovered a new range of Photoshop plugins that allows us to put the soul (which we forgot to put in while shooting) back into our imagery. Because these soulful images are our unique selling point, I can't tell you where we found them. With this set of plugins we are able to take a loveless bride and groom and turn them into passionate beings. We are able to take an indiscreet glance and turn it into the look of love. We are able to take monochromatic feelings and turn them into a fiercely burning fire ... all with the help of some photoshop and a couple of plugins. It's not true! That's To View More >>

Rex is a regular coffee drinker and if ever you were to meet him you would instantly know that he was a straight up kind of guy. Rex keeps a quiet eye on our town. He rises early and walks the hills around Lyttelton. Rex knows stuff. People share with him because they know that he is that straight up kind of guy. He can be trusted. Our town also has its share of Astral travelers, bad eggs, party radicals, poets and pop stars. There is a lot of spirit here ... all under the quiet and watchful eye of Rex. James and Co at the Lyttelton Coffee Company make the coffees that keep these spirits on form. To View More >>

This post by photographer and twitterman Seshu is food for thought on all sorts of levels. Cheers, Ian To View More >>

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 >>
