If you haven't been to the Photojunction website or blog lately, you won't recognise them. What's going on? Well, the old PJ site had to go, for several reasons. • Danny was embarrassed by it (me too). • PJ has changed so fast that a lot of the support info was out of date. • There's a bit of misinformation out there (I'll get to that). • And it's high time we came out of the closet… So here's the story: In case you don't know, Photojunction is a Queensberry project. It dates back ten years to when we first realised that any album supplier without a software solution was history (we were right: some of them already are). But as we developed the software we realised it would turn into an expensive overhead unless we did something creative … so what we tried to do was persuade other album manufacturers to work with us in developing a great solution that would work for everyone. In our mind, an industry partnership. We set up a separate company (Photojunction Ltd). We built a Chinese wall between it and Queensberry and insisted that Photojunction staff didn't promote Queensberry in any way. We offered all vendors the same power and functionality as us. We built more than two dozen sets of "Album Resources" … to support Queensberry's competitors! And it worked. Sort of. Today our users number well into five figures (highest in our category) and at least half of them use the software to design albums other than Queensberry. But with few exceptions most album companies never bought in … and it takes two to tango. By and large the vendors were simply too suspicious to work closely with us. Fair enough, I guess… These days the deal with Photojunction is strictly between you and us. "For photographers. By Queensberry" as the new website says. And anyone can use it, no charge. Now for the misinformation: Does that mean Photojunction locks you into Queensberry? Absolutely not. Does it mean you can't use it with other vendors? No. Does it mean we'd like you to sell Queensberry albums? Of course! But if you never spend a dollar with us it’s still free. A taste of what Queensberry can do. What else? To streamline things around here we're taking down that Chinese Wall so we can build a better, unified Queensberry/Photojunction support team. The PJ blog and forum have already been moved to the Queensberry site (you can still subscribe separately) and the separate Photojunction phone numbers will disappear soon. The payoff will be improved service for you. So there you go. We're out of the closet. We're Photojunction. Welcome to Queensberry! Cheers, Stephen PS For our reconfigured support resources, forums, blog etc, head off to the new website. If you'd like to read more about our story, it's here.
