Meet one of Justine Ungaro's brand new client albums - a Mint green Queensberry Duo she shot and designed for clients Kristan and Steve. Justine met Steve while scouting for bands for her own wedding. He played in the band she eventually hired, and he booked her as his and Kristan's wedding photographer. Justine says, "We each had a real vested interest in the overall success of each other's weddings. It's been a pretty special relationship ever since." Kristan and Steve married on 30 May 2009 and when their album arrived, wrote to Justine to say... "We totally love this album! The photos look To View More >>

Version 1.47, builds on changes introduced in v1.46. Our main focus was on Queensberry's new press books, including fixes to the new workflow, many of them "behind the scenes" from the user point of view. We know we have a way to go with this and the developers are continuing to work on cover design issues in particular. Having said that we've introduced three new features to speed up your album design. They're still a bit "v1.0", but we wrote them in consultation with Queensberry's design team, who live and die by productivity, and we wanted to get them to you early so you could take a look and To View More >>

My clients would not dream of paying me $4000 for an empty photo album. Nor would they pay that for a book with somebody else’s photographs in it. They wouldn’t pay me that much even if I supplied them the files to print the images themselves. My clients would pay me $5000 for a book that told a story about themselves that was beautiful, personal, and emotional. The tooth fairy only pays up on the real thing. What is a sample album? Sample albums have several jobs. The main one is to set up an expectation. An expectation of quality, style, and professionalism. Our sample album(s) are what To View More >>

The new final of Photojunction will be out in a few days and it has a new feature that may affect you. First, to set the scene, our matted albums were designed to be constructed mainly of "standard" (single) sides, as opposed to panoramas. But lately we've noticed that one or two of our clients are designing with heaps of panoramas, more than the book can accommodate. This puts more thickness into the spine of the book than it's designed for, and so stresses it in various ways. For the last year or so our goal has been to make PJ smart enough to stop people from designing an album that we can't To View More >>

From v1.46 onwards, Photojunction will automatically install Queensberry's colour profiles for both our silver halide Lab and our digital-offset press books. To use them you just need to add them to your soft-proofing set-up (in Photoshop, it's at View / Proof Setup – and if you're unclear about it, the process is described in our knowledge base): However, this new system wasn't available before Photojunction version 1.46. That means, if you've designed and exported a Press Book using v1.45 recently, but not sent it yet, we suggest you re-export the album using v1.46 before hitting the send To View More >>
