[caption id="attachment_1348" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="Photography by Michael + Anna Costa"][/caption] Although we'd love all our clients to print with us, and most now do, we can't expect that everyone will.

One-liners ("Colour management used to be just calling the lab to complain about your prints.") Words, that's all... But they make you think. They illuminate what you're saying and make it memorable. They use the familiar to explain the unfamiliar. They're gems of great price if you polish them till they shine, and really awkward if you don't.

Sparked by a 'oh-I-forgot-that-was-an-option' moment, I wanted to quickly remind you about the default options you can set in Photojunction to save you time, and a few clicks. In the Photojunction Preferences you'll find an array of options enabling you to customise Photojunction to reflect your preferred and most commonly used settings, such as: How long you like each slide to play for in a slideshow The aperture border colour and width you prefer Units of measurement you like working with (inches or mm) The most common size of aperture you design with Of course all of these options can be changed To View More >>
