Where do I find templates? In the Photojunction Store. You'll find the link to it on the Photojunction home screen (bottom right corner in case you missed it). You can search for templates by size (14x10), orientation (Horizontal) and style (simple), or by the template designer if you know who they are. Here's a bit more info about the Photojunction Store. And if you're interested in selling your own templates, here's a blog post worth reading. HTH PJ Support Team PS Check out Danny's 437 tips to boosting your template sales! To View More >>

The Photojunction Start Window's new tabbed menu design gives you direct, easy to understand access to your work. From left to right... Until now the Start Window displayed events and products, which confused some people. Now the 'Recent' tab only displays recent products (ie albums, slideshows, proof sheets). If you still want to access your clients or events click on Browse tab, which looks and acts as the browse window always has... Finally, with its very own tab the Upload window is much more obvious. Near the bottom of the screen you'll see we've also added a live feed from our blog, The Junction, To View More >>

I've just been dealing with a frustrated user.  The abridged version... He designed an album in PJ then exported PSDs. He then flattened the PSDs and imported them into ALBUM_CO_X's software for ALBUM_CO_X to make. That is frustrating for me on all sorts of levels - mostly because I tried (and failed) to convince ALBUM_CO_X not to waste time and money developing their own album planning tool... but that's a different story. The album came back with a border around every page, about a quarter inch in from the edge.  Somewhere between this client and ALBUM_CO_X's software the print files that ALBUM_CO_X To View More >>

Do you know how many people are too busy to design albums? Or are under-confident about album design? Or can't figure out the PJ alignment tools (surely not)? ;) And do you know how many people have downloaded Photojunction since we made it free? I didn't think so. But that adds up to a big market ... and you already have the templates. All you need to do is add them to the Store. Just do it. Cheers, Danny (motivational expert). There you go ... #437 ... just a few gaps to fill in. Got more? To View More >>

And dare I say it, 'Free' is pretty popular... Danny's throwaway line got a few negative reactions ... despite Wired's Chris Anderson saying "free" is the default price on the internet. And PJ is free, right? (We explained why here.) The counter argument is that sure, we all like free stuff ... but templates save you time by utilising the fruits of other people's. And that justifies the cost. I totally agree, but still people persist in giving stuff away online. Open source software ... free reports about how to take your business online ... the list is endless. Sometimes free comes without strings To View More >>

Talk about your products. Tweet, Facebook, blog whatever. We're doing our bit to promote the store, but it's your job to get them to come to you. And don't just talk about your own templates. Talk about the "Photojunction Store" itself. More in the Store. The more the merrier. Next tip. Danny (social media man) To View More >>

One interesting option is how many template thumbnails you should have in the item listing. There's two sides to this one, but I think showing too few is a mistake. There's a fear that people will copy them if you show too many... I understand, but people are buying templates to save time so I wouldn't worry too much. I'd show at least 25% or so of my templates - enough to get a good idea of what you're offering. Next tip. Danny (how about that - up to Tip #92 already) ;) To View More >>

Talking to Photoshop via script can be a delicate process, so here's a few tips for exporting your high-res layouts from PJ for printing... • Open Photoshop before you start exporting. (Sometimes it takes so long to open PJ forgets who it's talking to.) • Close all other open images in Photoshop. • Make sure the Photoshop start screen is closed. • Let Photojunction and Photoshop do their thing. Keep your hands off that keyboard! Cheers, PJ Support To View More >>

The PJ support team is on the front line everyday. They know what's what, when and why, so we're giving them a weekly spot to comment on an issue they've been dealing with over the past week. I'd get it in the neck from them if I didn't kick off by reminding you that you can find answers to many of your PJ questions already online - so be sure to check out the Photojunction Website, Blog or Forum. We'll kick off by explaining how to register Photojunction on a second computer... Cheers, Nigel To View More >>
