The purpose of our recent survey was to get a better picture of how you're using the software, and the features most important to you. It turns out you use Photojunction to design albums for almost a hundred album suppliers that we don't even offer resources for - no wonder a third of you "always" use Remix DIY! It's also clear that unless you're one of Queensberry's clients you're most likely using PJ primarily to design and export page layouts. That's not so surprising. Getting past "page design" requires a lot of input from vendors, and unfortunately they're much less engaged with PJ than their clients are. We're going to stream-line the way PJ handles third-party vendors based on those findings, so here's what's coming up: 1. We're creating a new tool so vendors and users can author their own album resources and sell them through the PJ Store (just like templates now). 2. We're improving the DIY function so you can define the position of the "photo-safe guides" - something we're often asked for. Those two features will be a big step forward for most of our users, but to make them work we do need to simplify the album resources. And so: 3. We're removing the Cover Material, Cover Style, and Titles resources for all suppliers except Queensberry (you will be able to enter text into a field to DESCRIBE your cover option). 4. We're also removing the largely unused "Send Order" functionality for suppliers other than Queensberry. We are very ambitious for Photojunction - as an ever-improving, hassle-free, differentiating, money-making platform for selling Queensberry albums ... and the most productive, creative, intuitive page design program out there for ALL professional photographers. There's a mouthful. As I said, the vast majority of people use PJ primarily to design and export page layouts. Rest assured that we'll still be supporting all page types (matted, digital etc) and you'll be able to export your page layouts for uploading and printing as now. We'll be rolling out more details about these changes over the weeks ahead - and we have a lot more on the development schedule besides - but I think that's probably enough for now! Let us know what you think. Cheers, Ian

Hello Gerry, I've asked the boys and it sounds like there's a new release due in a few days and they'll be starting on the supplier resources in the release after that. I'm sorry to say you won't be able to mix matted and flush in DIY albums, however. Managing matted albums is just too difficult to do like that. There are too many production parameters to cope with. Sorry to disappoint you.
