With the release yesterday of the latest version of Aperture, Apple's powerful photo editing and management software, we are delighted to announce Queensberry's new plug-in and album collection for Aperture 3.

A good question about templates came up in one of our recent webinars and we want to cover it for everyone... If you drag and drop an album template onto a different sized layout, Photojunction (normally) treats the apertures as a 'Group' and scales them down (or up) to fit them into the layout. That means a 7x5 aperture on a 12x12 template (for example) would be scaled to an irregular size if you dropped it onto a 14x10 layout, and could require some adjustment. Here's a little catch. Because Photojunction drops apertures onto a new layout as a 'Group', you'll need to first 'Ungroup' them before To View More >>

UPDATE: This recording has been removed and replaced by an updated version of our Advanced Photojunction webinar available for viewing here. Last week we jumped in the deep end and kicked off this year's Photojunction webinars with a brand new one - Tips, Tricks and Power Features. This is a follow-up to our newbie webinar and a little more advanced, so we assumed attendees had (some) experience with the software. In it, we covered lots of tips, tricks and power features including: - Working with PSDs and JPEGs - Sorting and selecting images - Alignment - Productivity features - Working with clients To View More >>

If you want your order to sail smoothly through our ordering process, please make sure it's ready to go before you send it. Hopefully this post will give you some insight into why that's so important – why even minor changes to an order can cause a lot of work at our end. For example, suppose you request design or layout changes, or send us new versions of image files or album plans. First we have to call up your original order and work out exactly what you want done to it – not easy when we have hundreds of albums working their way through production at any one time. We may need to, for example: To View More >>
