I have a confession. Unlike a lot of our customers I'm relatively new to Photojunction. Luckily I work with a great team, so when required they make me look good. The cool thing is that I look at Photojunction and discover things about it daily that I didn't know. There are features that are a little hidden. It's a bit of a shame, really, that they aren't more obvious, because usually they do something that can change the way you work for the better. So I thought it would be nice to share our ten favorite buttons (in no particular order). 1. Open templates in new window Place your cursor over Template Collection in the Events window and right-click. This will ask if you would like to open your templates in a new window. No more scrolling up and down between the templates and the images! 2. Undo OK, this isn't a button but an Edit menu selection, but I think it's everyone's number one so it has to be in. Those who had the pleasure of working in PJ Retro will remember that you only had one edit/undo chance. These days it's sheer luxury to be able to undo multiple levels. 3. Divide and Conquer OK, Divide and Conquer worked for the Romans so why not us? Basically you tell Photojunction how many images you want per layout and the software spreads the images you've selected out across the pages in chronological order. That's a pretty basic description but PJ is a bit smarter that that. It knows the time you shot each image based on the exif data. So you can decide on a time gap (eg 30 minutes) and when PJ finds a gap of that size or more between images it thinks, OK, this must be a new series, so it starts a new page. (Darn, this isn't a button either. It's UNDER a button – in the Event window under the More button).

Well I'm a bit brassed off, really. I wanted to split this into two posts, and crack a joke about us being a Rugby nation and this being half time. But Coach reckons if I make the posts too long you'll stop reading. I guess I'll have to go with us being a Netball nation and this being the end of the first quarter. Either way I'm off for an orange and a team talk. I'll be back on the court shortly. Cheers Pete
