We’ve designed many albums using Photojunction to satisfy our customers who request Queensberry matted albums (among others). While our weapon of choice is Photoshop, Photojunction ain’t so bad. We admit, we have had several annoying moments with the software, but when it boils down to it, we always accept the challenge!
Designing matted albums with Photojunction IS challenging. We’ve been so used to freely designing flushmount albums that matted is something foreign to some of our designers. It really forces us to be creative, even with the limited effects and designs we would like to perform.
Some examples of these challenges are:
- freely placing more than four images per side
- making one image larger than the rest
- tightly spaced images
- adding some flair like: gradients, masking, font techniques, opacity borders, and embellishments among others.
You see, some of the albums we design with Photojunction requires a template. Which means, you just drag and drop images on each side. But, the challenge of that is which mattes to use and what image to put in where.
But Photojunction isn’t just for matted albums. They also have the ability to design an album without using a template. Watch this short video Photojunction created to clearly understand some of the benefits using this software:
