Everyone has a different workflow, there's no question about it. Most wedding photographers have a shooting season and…the rest of the year. Depending on your clients, album design could be year round, but if you're lucky, you finish your album season shortly after your shooting season. The "downtime" is used for maintaining your business, small shoots, networking, and maybe taking it easier. One of the most important things to take care of during this time is organizing and backing up files. I 'm afraid album files get forgotten sometimes. I can't stress enough, you should back up your files. All. The. Time. If you are on a Mac, you can use the automated backup software built in with Time Machine. You simply need an extra drive to set it up on. If you are designing on Workspace, your albums are stored in the cloud, but in Photojunction they are only stored on your computer. To back up all your Photojunction information, you'll need to think about your PJ database and your project files. Your database stores all your preferences, templates, etc. Your project files are separate folders created for each of your clients in Photojunction. -On Mac OSX, your database should be in Macintosh HD: Users: Shared: Photojunction (where Macintosh HD is the name of your main hard drive). -On Windows XP it should be in C:Documents & SettingsAll UsersApplication DataPhotojunction -On Windows Vista it should be in C:ProgramDataPhotojunction Your project folders may be in the same locations, or you may have chosen a different save location. If you can't find them, you can search for .PJX on your machine. Back these all up!! You can clear out your Photojunction project list. But don't delete anything. Backing up will save you time if you ever lose a file or a client comes back and wants another copy of their album. My preferred method is to burn a disk with the .PJX folder, the folder of retouched High Res images, and the folder of exported layouts and keep it with the rest of the client's information. Easy to find and all in one place. Then I can delete the project from Photojunction and keep my list to only my current albums. Off season is a great time to get things sorted out. Once you have a system in place, year round maintenance will be a breeze. And you'll have time to come back and thank me ;) Angelique
