We've all had that crushing feeling when clients want to change the PERFECT album. Your original design destroyed. Heartbreak. Easy way around this is to duplicate the album before making changes. That way you don't lose your masterpiece, and it's still there if the clients change their mind after seeing what they've done! To duplicate the design, simply click the X2 button in the Product Column of the Project Browser. Three more great uses for duplicating albums: - You placed an order, but there was a problem with your files... so you need to fix a layout and create a new export. You'll need To View More >>

The feature that everyone has been calling out for has arrived. Everyone knows that if you stick images online people will want to cut you out of the loop and copy them to their desktops. Well, they say it's better to be pirated than ignored, but we still don't like it, so how can Workspace stop this happening to you? First, a while ago we programmed Workspace to not allow the right-click copy and paste function. But the big deal is our new Watermark feature.

We love beautiful things, and we absolutely admire the people who make them, so here are two links for you.

As one of the commenters says, we'll just stand quietly behind the velvet rope and watch.

Which is a pity, because if you value craftsmanship, it's To View More >>

I know how to type, have a good grasp of English, know how to spell – but that doesn’t mean I could or would or should try to write the next John Grisham. Having a pen doesn’t make me a writer. Having a camera doesn’t make me a photographer. Having a computer doesn’t make me a designer… To be a designer takes talent, knowledge and practice.

It also requires the understanding that that’s what you’re doing - telling a To View More >>

You created the perfect album. Except the size is wrong. Your clients have changed their mind. They still love the layout, but they want a different book. It isn't the ideal situation. It's actually why I prefer consulting the couple BEFORE laying out their book. Design for what they definitely want versus what you hope they will want. But alas, you're here. Stuck with the wrong size album. Thank goodness Photojunction auto-saves your albums as templates. You've just saved a ton of time! Just create a new album in the correct size (click the "+" button next to Products in the Event Window), add To View More >>
