Mpix Meet Up 2010 with Denise Golubski

The Mpix Guys — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:40:00 GMT

We are less than one month away from the 2010 Mpix Community Meet Up, and the excitement is building. Over the next few weeks we will begin introducing you to our very awesome instructors. Today we say hello to Denise Golubski of Backgroads Photography.

1) What can first timers at the Mpix Meet Up expect?
First time Mpix Meet Up attendees can expect to stay up late, get up early, cram a ton of knowledge into two days, and head home with new skills and new friends.

2) Give us a sneak-peek at what you will be teaching at the Meet Up.
I will be sharing what I know about shooting a high key background. We'll look at the steps from proper setup all the way through to processing the images. Getting it right in camera and leaving very little photoshop work is the goal!

3) In a few words, what does the Mpix Community mean to you as a photographer?
The Mpix Community is a source of knowledge that can't be matched anywhere else. We are more like a family than any other group I've come across. Sometimes dysfunctional for sure! But you can always find someone willing to help solve a problem or to give a swift kick when it's needed. I've met some of my very best friends through this community, and I've been awed by the talent that is exhibited by this wonderful group of kooky, colorful, nutty artists.

4) With so many choices for professional photographers, why has Mpix worked best for you?
For two reasons. 1. The highest quality around. 2. Customer service. I know the product I receive will be top-notch, and there is always someone willing to help me if I have any problems at all.

5) Best advice for those attending the Meet Up?
Come ready to learn, and not just during your classes. When you assemble this many artists together, the amount of talent is endless. Have lunch with someone you've just met, get some pointers from them, and share some of your best tips as well. And have fun!!!!! (although in my experience, you do not have to work hard or look far to find fun at an Mpix Meetup!)

Another Hot Release from Zenfolio

The Mpix Guys — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:48:00 GMT

Our great friends at Zenfolio have another can't-miss update for photographers today. From the Zenfolio blog:

Hot on the heels of releasing portfolio layouts and the custom Theme Designer, we are thrilled to add Music and Saving Favorites to the site. These were two of the most popular feature requests that are useful to a wide range of our users.

Sound as Good as You Shoot

You can now upload your own music files to be played along with your images (make sure you have the rights to use the music you upload). Uploaded soundtracks can be selected to play when a visitor enters your portfolio Home page, views a full-screen Slideshow, or along with embedded slide show on external web sites. File formats supported for upload include MP3 and unprotected AAC files (with no DRM) up to 24MB in size.

Triple Scoop Music Partnership

We are very proud to announce the partnership with Triple Scoop Music. Some of you are familiar with TSM as a music licensing service specializing in world-class music for photo, video, and website presentations. TSM offers award winning music by an impressive list of independent artists, including Grammy and Emmy winners.

Through our partnership with Triple Scoop Music we were able to give all Zenfolio subscribers 50 free songs to use in your account at no additional charge. Additional 100 premium songs are available on a subscription basis for $40/year for all 100 songs, or $20/year for a 25-song collection. This is a real bargain considering that individual songs directly from Triple Scoop Music retail for $60 each. You can preview the available collections.

Music can be assigned by switching to Customize Visitor View mode and selecting the Soundtrack menu from the top bar. Embeddable slideshows now have soundtracks listed on the configuration page.

Selecting Favorite Photos Made Simple (Premium feature)

Clients of Premium Zenfolio subscribers can now create lists of favorite photos and share them with their photographer and others. Photos can be selected from gallery thumbnail pages using the new multiple-selection functionality, or by selecting large images one-by-one. Once added to favorites, photos can be further sorted using a drag-and-drop interface to create a sequenced list, such as for an album or a slide show.

Once a photographer receives a shared Favorites set from a client, it can be edited, converted to a Zenfolio Collection, or downloaded. This Premium feature allows photographers and their clients to collaborate in real time over the Favorites’ sets, which is useful for refining purchasing selections, downloading original files, deleting undesirable photos, and a lot more.

Add-on Services

With this release we are introducing Add-on Services which are available as additions to your main subscription plan. The first such add-on service is Music from TSM, and we have more services planed. Your list of active Add-on Services can be managed from the new My Subscriptions page under your ACCOUNT.

Multiple-selection and Photo Toolbar

Other notable improvements in visitor interaction include the ability to select multiple photos at once while looking at a thumbnails page. A Photo Toolbar appearing above the selection makes it easy to Add To Favorites, Add to Cart, or Download selected photos (if allowed). The multiple-selection feature can be controlled selectively for each gallery/collection under Customize Visitor View | Page Options.

myZenfolio iPhone Application Released

For those of you using the iPhone, we have just released an iPhone application to the Apple Store. You can search for ‘myZenfolio’ or follow this link to iTunes.

myZenfolio iPhone app is the perfect mobile companion for your Zenfolio account. It allows you to easily manage and show your photos as well as upload new photos directly to your Zenfolio galleries.

New XX-Large Image Size

New XX-Large image size is now available with dimensions up to 1550px horizontally or 960px vertically. This new image size is designed to fill screen resolutions of 1900x1200 and higher and improve the quality of Dim-the-Lights and full-screen Slideshow playback on large screens. You need to enable this new size in order for it to be generated and displayed to your visitors. Follow these instructions on how to control allowed image sizes.

Slideshow Updates

The full-screen Slideshow received a small update in a form of a redesigned Captions window (it is smaller and lighter-weight in appearance) and a separate optional display of EXIF information.

You can now choose from 5 different animations displayed while the slide show is loading. You can also pick your own color for this animation if you are using a custom Theme.

Other slide show changes include the option to play photos in random order. Embeddable slide show configuration page now remembers last settings used.

Updated Selling Reports

We’ve taken your feedback and updated Selling Reports to better reflect the details of sales transactions. Reports now include only orders you have sold to customers and, as before, any orders placed by you can be found under ORDERS. We have updated the naming of the line items in all of the Reports to make sure they match customer receipts. In addition, you can now download more complete details of your customers’ orders as a CSV file.

Other Enhancements:

Optimized photo pages to more aggressively display larger vertical images
New page added under ACCOUNT | My Subscription. This page includes information about your current subscription plan, any add-on services, account expiration date, etc
Fixed a problem with downloading original photos from really large galleries (2,000+ photos)

Awesome New Updates to Zenfolio!

The Mpix Guys — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:25:00 GMT

On January 7th, Zenfolio released a very cool update, loaded with tons of new features (our favorite: the Theme Designer). We are really excited about the new updates at Zenfolio, and about this service in general. If you haven't tried Zenfolio yet, there is no better time.

Portfolio Home Page Layouts: You can now create portfolio Home pages with a large customizable slideshow and logo branding. Seven new Home page layouts were added covering most configurations of portfolio-style sites.

Persistent Site Menus: No real web site can exist without a persistent site menu throughout all pages to ensure a consistent and uniform browsing experience. You can build your site menu any way you like and include links to any gallery, collection or group, as well as to new built-in About, Contact, and Search pages. Creating a site menu is available to all Zenfolio subscribers including Basic, Unlimited, and Premium levels.

Theme Designer: The new release introduces the Zenfolio Theme Designer, a groundbreaking new tool used to design and customize pages with a highly intuitive and polished interface. The Theme Designer enables you to have full control of the graphical elements on the pages along with a professional color model-base which suggests colors that are aesthetically designed to work together for a more attractive presentation. With the Zenfolio Theme Designer, the complicated task of editing CSS code has been replaced with a simple point and click tool. Buttons, backgrounds, menu styles, thumbnails, and image treatments are all available for customization to a discerning visual designer.

Customize Visitor View Mode Redesign: To accommodate new functionality for Visitor page customizations, the Customize Visitor View mode has been redesigned making it more intuitive and streamlined, at the same time expanding the range of controls and options accessible through this mode.

New Full Screen Slideshow: With this release we are introducing a completely redesigned Flash-based Slideshow available from every thumbnail and photo page.

Search Engine Optimizations (SEO): Included in the new release are SEO enhancements to all Zenfolio pages. You now get control of the search positioning with access to webmaster tools from the top search engines, including Google, bing, and Yahoo!

Edit View Updates: The Organizer was completely rewritten to make it faster and more robust. Content is now loaded dynamically resulting in a more interactive experience.

2009 Holiday Shipping Tips

The Mpix Guys — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:11:00 GMT

The holiday season is here and getting your order in a timely fashion is more important than ever. We are working tirelessly for you and are typically able to maintain our estimated processing times even during the busiest days of the year. For the best chance of receiving your order before December 25th, please order by these dates:

1st Class Mail: December 13th
USPS Priority Mail: December 16th
FedEx Next Business Day: December 20th

Have a last minute order after the 20th? Don't count us out! Select FedEx Next Business day shipping, and with Mpix's awesome 1-2 business day turnaround time you have a great chance of receiving the order before Christmas.

Here are a few tips to help ensure you receive your last-minute orders when you expect them.

To be safe, when using US Mail, we suggest allowing a few extra days. USPS may take a day or two longer than normal to deliver packages as we approach Christmas. When using US Priority Mail, we suggest getting orders to us by December 16th.
Use FedEx! If you need something quickly, our FedEx shipping option is the way to go. Most orders uploaded on the 20th will be delivered by the 22nd when choosing our overnight option.
Please note that overnight shipping does not guarantee your order will ship the same day. It only expedites the shipping method once the order is complete.
Please keep in mind our estimated processing times.
FedEx will not be honoring its money-back guarantee between now and Christmas. Most packages will be delivered in 1-2 days.

Thank you for choosing Mpix as your holiday printing provider. We wish you and your family a happy holiday!

Mpix- The Exclusive Print Partner of National Geographic

The Mpix Guys — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:18:00 GMT

How many of us can remember flipping through National Geographic as kids and picking out our favorite images? 20-30 years ago it would have never been possible to take the exquisite images from the pages of National Geographic home. Today, that is a changing reality.

The great people at National Geographic and Kodak approached us several months ago about becoming the exclusive print partner for a very special project they were working on. National Geographic loved the exceptional quality and unmatched turn-around time that is synonymous with Mpix, and we loved their images! With this program consumers are able to purchase prints of 240 images that were recently released for the first time. These exclusive images are available in sizes up to 20 x 30” and are all printed on KODAK professional paper. Information and pricing for the décor prints can be found at: http://imagecollection.mpix.com.

Now you can order these exclusive National Geographic décor images, and have them hanging on your wall in as little as 24-48 hours.

With our new Boutique Packaging your images will be wrapped in a french vanilla tissue and placed in a classy cream box. The presentation is topped off with a rich chocolate brown grosgrain bow.

How does the new Boutique Packaging compare to the current program?

* Applies only to prints and books that are 11x14” and below – this has not changed.

* New cream color box with chocolate brown bow

* Each order will be wrapped in an exclusive french vanilla tissue paper- this adds even more protection to your prints!
