I’m dropping my prices … people aren’t spending as much … my bookings are down … I need to go to cheaper albums … I’ve started doing shoot-and-burn … I’m worried about my income. You’ve heard the talk. Are you struggling in the face of competition, recession and demanding clients? Or do you just want to hear someone else’s take on things? As well as our usual Photojunction webinars, we’re hosting two with Queensberry on the most critical issue facing professional photographers: how to survive and thrive in today’s demanding market. Webinar 1: How to sell albums (and why) To View More >>

Shortly after the iPad was announced, Nigel posted about wanting to run Photojunction on it. While that hasn't happened (yet), the iPad has become quite a popular tool for photographers. Personally, I like to use it to present final album designs to clients. Photojunction makes creating and editing layouts so simple, that sitting there with a client flicking through their spreads takes the mystery out of knowing exactly what they'll end up with. There are so many presentation options within Photojunction, but here's a few that work with the iPad... 1. Slideshows Want an album slideshow to fit perfectly To View More >>

As the new month rolls over (can you believe it's August already!), so does our webinar schedule. The August schedule will be online shortly, but in the meantime, here's the details about tomorrow's webinar: Intro to Photojunction @ 9am (NZT) In this webinar Danny will show you how to fire up the software and start using it. He'll also walk you through everything from registering, to designing an album, to exporting and sending. It's free to all so come along, listen, learn and ask questions. We'd love you to join us. Remember that's 9am NZT. Here are tomorrow's times for the rest of the world... To View More >>

A discussion about album upload times (specifically the length of them) last week reminded me of a good post Danny wrote on the Junction a while back, about internet connection speeds, pricing and plans. While we do everything we can at our end to optimise the FTP process, ultimately (album) upload speed is determined by your internet provider, so it pays to understand exactly what you're getting for your money. Here's Danny's post – Nigel Warning: contains math and abbreviations From time to time I'm asked for advice about internet connection speeds and pricing plans, so here goes...

With the addition of long time Photojunction fan Angelique Buckley to the Photojunction support team, our support hours have changed slightly to better accommodate our friends in the US and UK. There's a wee gap between shifts due to the switch over between our NZ and US staff, but you'll be well looked after for most of the day - and there's even a bit of coverage for you moonlighters ;) New Zealand: 8am - 4.30pm (Mon-Fri) and 1am - 7am (Tues-Sat) Australia: 6am - 2.30pm (Mon-Fri) and 11pm - 5am (Tues-Sat) UK: 2pm - 8pm and 9pm (Mon-Fri) - 5.30am (Sun-Thurs) US (East Coast): 9am - 3pm (Mon-Fri) and To View More >>

[caption id="attachment_4040" align="alignleft" width="226" caption="Photo by: Kamila Harris Photography"][/caption] Hi! My name is Angelique Buckley, and I am the newest member of the Photojunction Support Team. If you are an avid reader of The Junction like I am, you may have already heard of me. I've been featured on the blog four times already, and can't wait to play a bigger role in the growth of Photojunction. So a little background about me... I am a huge nerd and I love photography. Maybe that's why I fit in so well into the Queensberry team? I studied Graphic Design in school, minoring To View More >>

If you haven't been to the Photojunction website or blog lately, you won't recognise them. What's going on? Well, the old PJ site had to go, for several reasons. • Danny was embarrassed by it (me too). • PJ has changed so fast that a lot of the support info was out of date. • There's a bit of misinformation out there (I'll get to that). • And it's high time we came out of the closet… So here's the story: In case you don't know, Photojunction is a Queensberry project. It dates back ten years to when we first realised that any album supplier without a software solution was history (we were To View More >>

Hello Dears, PJ Nanny here. I've been doing the housekeeping round here for (goodness me) years now, but I've never introduced myself because I don't like to be a bother and I love seeing my boys and girls in the spotlight. But we … no, I … owe you an apology. We released a new version a few weeks ago and on Wednesday afternoon Christine had a phone call from a nice young lady in Australia who had… (Oh, I can't bring myself to say how many) … LOTS of "warnings" in the Photojunction Problem Reporter (my second favourite part of the program) and was feeling overwhelmed by them. She'd stumbled To View More >>

Each version of Photojunction takes us further towards a seamless workflow to design, export and upload your album orders to Queensberry – right first time and hassle-free.. If you're using Queensberry this is just a reminder that you no longer need to use LabFTP. Photojunction does it all, and the advantage is that the processes are managed and automated – so there’s minimal opportunity for anything to go wrong, and you’ll get your album faster.
