With the addition of long time Photojunction fan Angelique Buckley to the Photojunction support team, our support hours have changed slightly to better accommodate our friends in the US and UK. There's a wee gap between shifts due to the switch over between our NZ and US staff, but you'll be well looked after for most of the day - and there's even a bit of coverage for you moonlighters ;) New Zealand: 8am - 4.30pm (Mon-Fri) and 1am - 7am (Tues-Sat) Australia: 6am - 2.30pm (Mon-Fri) and 11pm - 5am (Tues-Sat) UK: 2pm - 8pm and 9pm (Mon-Fri) - 5.30am (Sun-Thurs) US (East Coast): 9am - 3pm (Mon-Fri) and To View More >>

[caption id="attachment_4040" align="alignleft" width="226" caption="Photo by: Kamila Harris Photography"][/caption] Hi! My name is Angelique Buckley, and I am the newest member of the Photojunction Support Team. If you are an avid reader of The Junction like I am, you may have already heard of me.

Maybe that's why I fit in so well into the Queensberry team? I studied Graphic Design in school, minoring To View More >>

If you haven't been to the Photojunction website or blog lately, you won't recognise them. What's going on? Well, the old PJ site had to go, for several reasons. • Danny was embarrassed by it (me too). • PJ has changed so fast that a lot of the support info was out of date. • There's a bit of misinformation out there (I'll get to that). • And it's high time we came out of the closet… So here's the story: In case you don't know, Photojunction is a Queensberry project. It dates back ten years to when we first realised that any album supplier without a software solution was history (we To View More >>

Photojunction also harnesses the power of Photoshop for you during the export stage of the workflow, when you can open and edit exported page layouts in Photoshop from within Photojunction, just as you did the original image files. After you export your high-res page layouts (almost always using Photoshop) they become visible in the Export Layouts window. The layout files will have been saved to your hard disk, and so under your care and control, and many people want to work on them before printing. But you need to take care. If you rename or move the files, for example, Photojunction won’t To View More >>

Danny's away at the moment so I'm going to steal one of his lines... Photojunction knows it can't be Photoshop, so doesn't try to be. It harnesses the power of Photoshop instead. Photojunction works seamlessly with Photoshop, allowing you to open an image or a layout in Photoshop from within Photojunction, work on it, then re-import it back into Photojunction. But how it works depends on whether you're working with your layouts (what you're designing) or your images (what you're designing with), so I'm going to split this topic into two posts. Today we'll look how to work with Photoshop to edit To View More >>
