The Junction

Sometimes we have trouble persuading people that Photojunction displays images in overlay albums exactly as they will appear in the album. They think what you see on screen includes the area of the print that will get lost under the mat.

That may be because other programs “grey out” the area that will be hidden (we do the same with photo front covers, but nowhere else). Photojunction hides it completely because we want to show you what the album will look like – no distractions!

Anyway what you on screen is exactly what you’ll see in the album.

Take a look at the image panel of the tools window. It can be a bit hard to see, especially with a light colour image, because it’s small scale – but try pushing the selection box in the crop window out to the very edge of the image. You can do it with digital and pagemount pages, but not in an overlay album – because PJ knows it needs to reserve some pixels for the bit of the image that will covered by the mat. What you see is what you’ll get.

This is easier than you can imagine. If you want to design in front of a client, but hide all the tools and wizardry of Photojunction, then you can recruit the services of the Review Layout feature.

Here’s how:

Select the ‘Album Menu’ and click ‘Review Layout’

Or for the shortcut type:

• On Mac: Apple + Shift + R
• On Windows: Ctrl + Shift + R

And, yep, it uses the smart full screen feature, which means you can design on one screen while your clients follow along on another.

Photojunction loves being double clicked. Everywhere.

Double click on any of the following:

An image in the design window…

An image in the crop tool…

An image in the event window…

…And Photojunction will blow the image up full screen for better viewing. On your second monitor if you have one.

Before we get going talking about presentation, I wanted to introduce a nice common sense feature. Smart Full Screen.

It’s at the crux of most of the presentation features to come.

Whenever you ask Photojunction to display something fullscreen, Photojunction automatically detects your second monitor (if you have one) and uses that monitor to display the full screen – by default.

Primary Monitor                                                    Secondary Monitor

If you don’t have a second monitor, of course the features still work on your single monitor. Photojunction will just display the full screen on top of everything else.

Cheers, Danny

P.s. To close the full screen mode – just hit esc.
