Pay it forward

Well it's been a tough week. No plague of locusts, but nothing else came easy! But we’ve reached final and it’s an amazing feeling. Our company’s growing and we want to show our thanks.

Here goes…

From Day One our goal has been to build an outstanding application, which is impossible without supportive, committed beta testers.

But beta testing is like jury service – who wants to get involved? It's purely voluntary, everyone benefits, and that’s why we’re so grateful.

We know it’s been tough at times, but what we've done together is build cool software - thank you. Trust us – the version we're releasing today is just the beginning.

Below you’ll find a list of 20 people to whom we owe extra-special thanks.

If your name is on our list you have a free, personal subscription to PJ Remix for as long as the application exists, or as long as you want to use it.

If you’re a beta tester whose name isn’t there, it’s tough to be #21 (and hard for us to draw the line) but we appreciate your help too. Email us and we’ll extend your subscription for an extra three months with our thanks.

All the best from Danny and the Dev Team

And our special thanks go to…

Here here! Cheers for an awesome software release. This application kicks some serious butt! :)

This is a legendary and monumental step forward for this team. It was a lot of hard work and a great deal of thought went into making this a tool for photographers.

Thanks to the hard working team for all your efforts! Now, go on a long holiday!

Hey hey!! I just made it into the top 20!

It's been hard work and really frustrating at times, but you guys have ALWAYS responded with a 'thank you' and 'we'll try and get it fixed' attitude.

Thanks for the thanks - you're welcome.

It's been great working with you on this - here' to the future (PJ Reloaded?)

Wow, final release! I tried using Retro the other day to remind myself how far you guys have come: it's a LONG way! :-)

Congratulations, take a holiday, then come back and keep making PJR even better.

Cheers,
Steve

Well done guys, so sorry I am not in the country for the release. I hope you had a beer or a glass of champagne to celebrate. Party at our place next :-)

I really do take my hats off to you all, your dedication is amazing and the software is a fantastic reflection of that.

Our goal was always to make Photojunction an expected tool of the professional photographer ... You know Education, Camera, Photoshop, Computer ... Photojunction. We still have a way to go, but the great support of Album Vendors and thousands of Photographers shows you are well on your way.

Congratulations

Stephen

What an odd sense of timing - I'm finishing up my last Retro project (the client sorta disappeared and now is finishing up the book) and then it will be just a memory.

Thanks guys! It's an awesome release and I'm glad I could help. You've made the best album design experience I've ever seen, and I'm excited to see it hit the big 1.0 milestone.

Congratulations!
