Photojunction Remix - Smoking Hot program


PJ remix is the new version of Photojunction that allows creation of beautiful and elegant albums with ease. It has gone a long way over the last year or so. The new interface is much more user friendly, and contains much more powerful features. However, there are still plenty of room for improvement. The biggest thing is the ability for it to be integrated with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, which are essentially two industry standard softwares. If PJ can accomplish in the near future, the album design process will be so much more streamline and efficient, and it would definitely push PJ to be right at the top of the photography industry. There are a few other design features that I would love to be changed, that include:
only one window, instead of 3
more customise option

Apart from that, PJ Remix rocks, and I love it. You can't go wrong with the program so please give it a go, 30 days free trial, and it would definitely change your album design life forever

Disappointments are opportunities in disguise

Life is never perfect. But it is the "imperfect" moments/events that make life just so perfect. Life is what you make it to be. You can always create joy out of any situation, and vice versa, you can always create sadness out of every situation. I firmly believe that life is truly in your hand.

I recently watched the movie with Steve Carrell where he had to build an ark because god told him so. As no one else could see god, no one believed him, especially his family. The most profound statement from the movie was when god told his wife this,
"if you asked god to bring your family closer, do you think he would simply grant you that wish, or would he provide you with an opportunity to grow together", something along this line.

Disappointments are exactly that, opportunities. Opportunities for us to grow and to look at the world with a more open view. It is sad to see many people who simply just frown at life and blame god this and other people that because their life is just not going well. Negative thinking is an endless trap where nothing is ever good enough, in particularly you are never good enough. What would eventually follow is that they would then compare themselves with everyone and the result would be that everyone is better, more successful etc.

Life is not a competition against others, but is a competition against yourself. Not all of us can be Bill Gate, but all of us can be better than what we are now. When we can understand that, then life will be a fun journey with learning opportunities around every corner. So my aim is to try not to let disappointments to get me down, but rather use them to pick me up and put a smile on my face.
