Hello Dears, PJ Nanny here. I've been doing the housekeeping round here for (goodness me) years now, but I've never introduced myself because I don't like to be a bother and I love seeing my boys and girls in the spotlight. But we … no, I … owe you an apology. We released a new version a few weeks ago and on Wednesday afternoon Christine had a phone call from a nice young lady in Australia who had… (Oh, I can't bring myself to say how many) … LOTS of "warnings" in the Photojunction Problem Reporter (my second favourite part of the program) and was feeling overwhelmed by them. She'd stumbled To View More >>

I've gathered enough gongs now to qualify for an opinion on album design. Last week I was a judge for the Australian Professional Photography Awards at PMA in Melbourne. This was an honour I shared with the lovely Jo Grams, Jerry Ghionis, Jackie Chan, Yervant and other luminaries.

Seriously folks, we were talking to Jerry Tomko at WPPI, and I thought ... this man has so much sensible stuff to share. So Heather and I took him up to the suite, sat him down with wine and nibbles and interviewed him around a single mic. Jerry is now a valued client, but he used to work as a rep for Art Leather.

Jerry Tomko is a long time friend who comes to mind whenever we think of heavy Photojunction users. He designs and sells a huge number of albums each year and has been using the software for as long as we can remember. 1) What impact does Photojunction have on your album design workflow? Photojunction has had a huge impact on my album design workflow. I have always been a firm believer in predesign - and in wedding albums, and I truly believe you should be able to see what you are purchasing. Even back in the film days, I would always present to the client what the album would look like before To View More >>
