One of the most exciting things that we announced at WPPI this year was integration with PhotoJunction.  We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with Danny and the rest of the PhotoJunction team.  Check out the video below, it’s pretty slick.

We just added two screencasts to the homepage of albumexposure, and we they’re pretty slick. The first demonstrates the functions and features of albumexposure to better communicate the value to people who are just checking it out.

The second walks through customizing albumexposure to match your branding via logo, background color and masking your url.

Hope you like them!

This week we launched the auto resize feature, eliminating the need for you to choose an album size or to resize any of your existing images before uploading them to albumexposure.

Here’s how it works: albumexposure resizes the images for you to be no wider than 1000px and no taller than 600px, detects the dimensions of the image after resizing, and automatically fills in the size for you.

Of course if your images are already in those sizes, uploading and processing will be faster, so you can still resize if you would like. (A photoshop action or droplet makes this a snap.)

We hope you enjoy the new feature!

In the next couple weeks we’re going to be working hard on improving albumexpoure performance and reliability.

Here is an album link so you can try it out yourself (the password is test). It’s set to default to book view so you can flip the pages, but you can always switch it to slideshow view by clicking the middle button on the bottom right. The song that plays while in slideshow view is “Thinking of You” by Molly Jenson and it is one of the songs that available to use royalty-free by all users. Enjoy!

Our friend, Jessica Claire invented this really cool bag for photographers called the ShootSac. If you haven’t seen these yet … then you’re missing out on a great way to carry your gear and do it in style. We’re all about doing things in a way that’s consistent with your brand experience so we thought we’d share this tip with you … because after all you are your brand. In fact, we love the ShootSac so much we’re going to be giving some away later this year to AlbumExposure users.

We know that many of you will want to use the features of AlbumExposure as a component of your website. Frankly, we agree! You’re brides should be reminded of your brand every time they interact with you. In theory, we could install the software on your own domain. Practically, this doesn’t work because the system requires an advanced architecture that would be too expensive for you to maintain.

But have no fear! It is actually very easy to have your cake and eat it too! By a technique known as masking you can have AlbumExposure working on your domain in a matter of minutes. If you don’t understand the article ask your website guy or contact us and we would be happy to help walk you through the process.
