PJ Remix

Today I want to post briefly about a piece of software that I use to design all of your albums. I know that there are a number of photographer friends who read these posts too, and we have had conversations recently about which software we all use for album designing - as you can imagine, the choices are varied.


I have tried several, and after a couple of years using Photojunction I can say it's the software of choice for me.

They have recently been through a complete redesign, hence the "remix" bit and what a great success it has been. Many photographers had the option to continue using the older "Photojunction Retro" throughout the development of Remix, but being a bit of a gadget boy i needed to get the latest and greatest software as soon as I could!

Of course, there were some teething issues, as there always is with new software, but the support throughout this period has been exemplary. Bug fixes every day or so, near immediate response to problems and enquiries (quite a feat when they are some 12 hours away from me in the land of timezones) and the end result is a fantastic and so very usable application.

I have used PJ Remix to design a few albums to date and the usability is so much better than "retro". My productivity has rocketed, saving me time and effort to do nice things - like rest and relax!!

A couple of favourite points :
- The ability to split out the components from the Tools window
- Cropping, resizing & moving images in the Image tab also updates the image in the album design window, giving you real-time feed back - awesome!
- The ability to design with or without templates - allowing full creativity.
- Being able to create custom album designs and dimensions - pure flexibility!
- The sheer speed of output now is mind-blowing ...

Gosh, there's is just so much to say about it, i simply don't have the time here. Any photographers wishing to discuss it in more detail, feel free to give me a call and i'll talk you through it!

The following is a link to their Blog and then their main Website too. What are you waiting for ? Go check them out!
