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.

WIPR: Cheeky

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.

WIPR: Lyttelton

Johannes and Jo of Moda Fotografica  sent this clever shot through to us.

I was lucky enough to try their local Lyttelton coffee shop when I was speaking at an NZIPP meeting a few months back, and the coffee much, like the town, was just charming.

Thanks guys!

WIPR: Growth Rings

We asked some of our friends to help us get some shots of PJ in their corner of the world.

Here's your first installment of "Where Is PJ Remix?"

Angelique Buckley of mk photography, one of our dedicated beta testers, took this wonderful shot for us of "Growth Rings" by Kate Kaman in Philadelphia.

Angelique said, "It seemed like the perfect spot to put the button. I see these circles everyday, so it was the first thing I thought of when I received the letter asking for a photo of the button in "my neck of the woods". It also seemed so appropriate given how far the application has come."

Doing my research I also found this video:

Thanks again Angelique!

Registering for the first time

Hi everyone, there has been some understandable confusion because when you open PJ Remix for the first time it asks you to register "either a full version or a 30 day trial version". That's out of date now but we can't do anything about it until we release a new version. That won't be long, but it's confusing meantime.

We've uploaded a brief movie to show how it works, but here's a brief run-through.

Click the "Click Here To Register" button in the Registration Window. That will open your web browser and take you to the secure Queensberry server to set up an account so you can register (you won't need to buy anything). You will need to be online (to register off-line computers, see below).

If you already have an account, but don't know the details, click the link for us to email your details.

Once you're done setting up your account, go back to the Remix Registration Window, click the Get Unlock Code Online button and you'll be good to go for 12 months.

The picture above shows what the window looks like when you're done.

HTH, Ian

Free to all

The best album design software is now free to all.

The Directors of Queensberry and Photojunction are delighted to announce a major change of direction for Photojunction.

Effective immediately PJ Remix is a free download for photographers everywhere. The “price” will be to register with Queensberry and allow us to send you a monthly message.

Click here to download the free software now.

• Photojunction will continue to enable third-party album resources as well as the “DIY” functionality that allows users to design un-matted layouts sized for any vendor.

• Software support and training will be available free via the Photojunction website, support forum and blog. One-on-one support, including by email, will be on a paid basis (US$ 99.00 for twelve months).

• Existing subscriptions will continue on exactly the same basis as now until they expire, including one-on-one support.

• Subject to a more relaxed minimum purchase requirement, Queensberry customers will qualify for free one-on-one support. As in the past, purchase of a Starter Kit will be required to become a Queensberry album client.

This marks a new beginning for PJ Remix, but the end for our long-standing "supplier-independent" business model, which has been stifling the software. Instead, Photojunction will in effect be progressively integrated with Queensberry as a sub brand.

As part of the Queensberry group, Photojunction will have three goals going forward:

1. To build a great in-house development and support team.
2. To maintain our standing as the most powerful album design software available, and build an active user community around the free software.
3. To develop a dedicated, intuitive, hassle-free workflow for all Queensberry clients.

Big day!

Hide and go seek

A while back we talked about screen real estate.

Well, because not all of us have huge screens, here's a short video with a few tips to maximise PJ Remix if you're lacking screen space.

Cheers, Danny

PS we'll post a video with some tips for those with big screens soon.
