Cover layout design in PJ Remix Here are the first steps in preparing a perfect, hassle-free print-and-bind order, really fast. 1. First, upgrade to PJ Remix. If you have already, thank you. 2. Use Remix to design your cover as well as your page layouts. You'll get to frame and crop the cover image yourself, see exactly what it looks like and be sure that it looks good. For example, here you can see how much of the image in the photo front cover layout above has been cropped away. No problem in this case, but many images won't be suitable: 3. Export your cover AND page layouts using Remix's Export Wizard (Album menu > Export > High-Res Export). Make sure you:

• Choose "QBY Full Colour Service" or "QBY Print-Ready Service" as your Lab Settings (depending on which service you require).
• Check the box to include your cover layouts.
• Export PSDs (except in the unlikely event that you don't intend to edit them in Photoshop afterwards).

Photojunction will prompt you where to save the output files. 4. Now you can edit your files to your hearts content. Well, not quite. Remember NOT to change image sizes, cropping, file names or specifications. If you do, Photojunction may not be able to locate your files, or they may no longer match the mats you've designed, or they may not be formatted correctly for your lab or album supplier. What you CAN do is add text, colour correct, do artwork etc. BTW you'll find that the special effects you did in Remix (B&W, Sepia, borders etc) are all editable. Next step, the Order Wizard and LabFTP. HTH, Ian
