We apologise if you've had problems following the release of v1.45. No ifs or buts. If you've been trying to make Queensberry's deadline, rest assured this problem won't stop you getting your album(s). Everyone in our support and the dev teams is focused on fixing the problems right now. Queensberry's had the usual pre-cut-off flood of orders over the last few days, including after the new release, and no more than the usual number of support calls (busier than usual of course, but normal for this time of year). In other words the new release does seem to be working for most of you – which is To View More >>
Last Friday NZT Stephen, Danny and Ian ran an impromptu webinar to introduce the Queensberry Press and demonstrate how to design the books. This excerpt concentrates on the "how-to". Much of the new functionality is behind the scenes (eg built-in colour management to convert the exported layouts to the printer colour space) but Danny concentrates on the process, especially how to specify the books and design the covers.

The airline Jet2.com's website is useless, as are their emergency contact numbers. Not a single one of their phone To View More >>
"Previously we were offering albums we knew our competitors were also offering, but we’ve realised we can use the album to separate us from our competitors." That quote from Nigel's interview with the Youngrens reflects Queensberry's key message to photographers and it got me thinking... A while ago I posted about album companies in trouble – and not hitching your own wagon to dying stars. Today I'm suggesting you be wary of the latest and greatest too ;) In the US and UK markets of 2000, Queensberry albums were revolutionary because we hand-made every album to order. That meant photographers, To View More >>
My last post said that press books are great but they’re everywhere. "And that's the problem." Someone here was a bit concerned about me saying that. "Won't it put you offside with a lot of photographers?" Maybe. Although if you disagree I hope it's something to think about rather than get upset about. But the fact that many people do disagree is a good thing, at least for us and our clients. If our albums were everywhere they'd have no value. To you or to us. For example see the comments here. Does presenting your imagery in press books trumpet your high-end quality to the market? I don't think To View More >>
