Meet Dave and Alianor, a tattoo artist from Atlanta, and a Catholic girl from Michigan. Tim Will shot their wedding in Atlanta last year. I could tell you about how the bridal party smoked and drank heavily before the ceremony, or that they carried guns with their names inscribed on the handles, or that the bride married in black. But I won't. Tim's images can do the talking... Instead, I'd rather highlight this album as a great example of how an anything-but-traditional wedding can fit so beautifully into a Queensberry. We're proud that our albums are so flexible and diverse. And that our album To View More >>

Even though I tend to ignore MS Word's spelling and grammar checker, I do try really hard to avoid making mistakes. But if I slip up the world doesn't end, and I sleep easy. I don't think it's such a good idea to ignore Nana PJ though, because she's trying to ensure I get a first class album back ... and ordering a second-rate album can be annoying, slow and really expensive. A bit like a cringe-inducing spelling mistake in your new print job. Here's Nana PJ on the job (click on the images to view them full size) ... 1. I've edited this page since exporting, so my page layouts are out of date To View More >>

Version 1.27 turned up the other day .... in the usual way, unannounced, with the usual set of promises, and a small degree of suggestive insistence. I downloaded the update as requested and at first paid little attention to what might have changed ... Then I noticed the absence of the album specs from the Tools window ... Thinking I had misplaced them I soon realised that they had been relocated. What a great idea that is! Now the flowchart approach works simply and logically, tries to minimise the potential for idiocy and is much less mysterious. Suddenly I feel that PJ has moved on from being To View More >>

The industrious PJ developers have certainly been busy. They've just posted another new beta that builds on the last release, v1.26. Put them together and we have a transformation. Ever since we first released Remix we've been asked to simplify and streamline the workflow, and we believe we've done that here. As you can see from the screen shot, album set-up has been transformed - reduced to a single screen that can gather up all the information an album vendor needs to make your album (click on the images to see them full-size). This particular screen shot is to order a Queensberry, but the options To View More >>

There are dozens of album design tools on the market, and almost none of them can be used to free-design matted albums. The exceptions are PJ and two others. A few more have workarounds where you drag and drop images on to templates that match pre-designed mats ... but that's hardly creative. Why do so few programs have this ability? First, it's quite hard. ;) Hard to create a layout on the fly, and simultaneously capture all the data to create both the prints and the mat. And hard, when you've got the data, to ensure that the resulting layout meets all the album vendor's requirements ... and To View More >>
