All taken care of

Ian likes his car. It feels like the manufacturers had him in mind when they designed it. It feels good. It seems to know what he needs. It thinks for him. It's a pleasure to drive.

Enough about Ian's car, but if you read this blog regularly you'll know we want PJ Remix to be like that: to think like you, look out for you, be a pleasure to drive.

For example, when you're working with lots of images it can get tricky keeping track of the ones you've used in your album design, so Remix remembers the images you've used and highlights their filenames for you, like this. Pretty smart ha?

Unused versus Used...

HTH, Nigel

Psst... Ian didn't realise we'd done this, and reported the new feature as a bug ;-)

How to watch on Vimeo

If you've already checked out the Photojunction channel on Vimeo, you may have been wishing, like me, that the video was better quality! Well it is. Here's what to do. First, get into full-screen mode by clicking on the little button in the very bottom right-hand corner of the screen (above).

Then, make sure your settings look like they do on the left. In other words, HD is on and scaling is off (if you can't see the controls, roll over the video area with your mouse and they'll appear).

Once you do that your video will look like the introductory webinar we recorded (below – click on the image to see it in all its glory: much better quality!)

HTH, Ian

PS Even in a busy airport lounge with gazillions of people on the wireless connection, the video played back well. Thank you Vimeo.

Intro to PJ webinar now online

Just quietly, our first crack at hosting webinars was pretty successful. We had heaps of interest and received some really great feedback. We also had lots of requests to record them and make them available online to watch. So here you go...

Click here to watch an 'Intro to PJ' webinar (59mins)

We've only uploaded one of the four webinars we ran because they all covered the same content.

You'll hear Danny and I answering questions that attendees were asking via a chat function (much like Sykpe). You won't see the questions or comments that came in during the webinar but you'll get the gist of them by the way they're answered.

Enjoy it and hope to see you at future webinars!

Cheers, Nigel

PJ Webinars

In case you didn't get our email, we're running FREE HOUR-LONG INTRODUCTORY WEBINARS with Danny showing you how to fire up the software and start using it.

What's great about this is that you can see Danny demonstrating on your own computer screen, hear him talking and ask questions via chat or a headset mic.

We had a great response to our last invitation and all four sessions filled up really fast.

If you didn't get a spot we don’t want you to miss out, so we’re going to run a couple of extras in the near future. If you'd like to join in please email me and let me know. I’ll send an invitation when we have finalised times and dates.

In the meantime - if you've got an suggestions for topics you'd like us to cover in future webinars, please leave a comment and let us know.

Cheers, Nigel

PS If you didn't get the email and would like to be notified of upcoming webinars email me and I'll put you on the list.

Ed te Pas used his photoshop skills for this cheeky image.

Thanks again mate.

Drag and drop faster

Here's a wee tip about something I never noticed before. Now that I have, I notice it all the time! Or rather the time it saves me...

You can set a default aperture size in Photojunction so that whenever you drag a new image onto a layout, it defaults to the size you specify instead of the standard 7x5. Pretty handy if you use one size a fair bit - saves you having to resize heaps of apertures!

Open the PJ preferences and under the Supplier option, you can choose whatever size you like from the drop down box.

HTH

PS • If what you want to do is drag the same size as the last aperture you added, here's how.
