Big News: Introducing the "View Photos in Sequence" Button for SportsPics! 📣⚽
Hello, amazing photographers and sports enthusiasts!

Candy here with some thrilling news that'll make capturing and enjoying those epic sports moments even better! 🌟

Drumroll, please... 🥁 We're excited to introduce the new "View Photos in Sequence" button on the Retail site. It will be visible on SportsPics Events using Face Matching! 🎉

What's the Buzz About?

Imagine you're photographing a high-energy soccer game. You've snapped a series of shots capturing the intensity of the match. Some photos feature the players' faces, which, thanks to our Face Matching technology and Selfie Check-In or Tap-A-Face workflows, automatically land in their personal galleries.

BUT what about those incredible action shots where the player's face isn't visible? 🤔

That's where our "View Photos in Sequence" button comes into play!

How Does It Work?

When your customers view a photo in their personal gallery, they'll now see a "View Photos in Sequence" button. Clicking this button allows them to explore images taken immediately before and after that specific shot.

This means they can easily find and enjoy all the action-packed moments, even if their face isn't visible in every photo! 🏃‍♂️⚡

The button is visible when previewing a personal gallery photo on the retail site

Why You'll Love It

  • Expand Your Memories: Players can now discover more photos of themselves, capturing every twist, turn, and goal—even those where they're zooming past the camera!
  • Enhanced Engagement: Offering more images increases the chances of customers finding that perfect shot they can't wait to share or purchase.
  • Effortless Navigation: It's simple and intuitive—just a click, and they're exploring a sequence of moments from the game.

A Game-Changer for Sports Photography

This feature is a win-win for everyone:

  • Photographers: Showcase more of your work and provide added value to your clients.
  • Athletes and Families: Relive the excitement of the game with a comprehensive view of their performance.
  • Boost Sales: More images mean more opportunities for sales and happy customers!

Ready to Try It Out?

The "View Image Sequence" button is now live for all SportsPics Events using Face Matching. So go ahead and give it a spin in your next event! We can't wait to see the amazing moments you'll capture and share. 📷💫

As always, we're here to help you make the most of NowCandid's features.

If you have any questions or feedback, don't hesitate to reach out!

Cheers and high fives,

Candy 🍬

Hello again, my detail-oriented photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 9 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

Today’s spotlight is on a feature that arrived in November, giving you fresh ways to understand your event coverage: the Image Timeline Report & Unique Faces Count.

Key Highlights:

  • Image Timeline Report:

    View when images were captured in each event folder, helping you analyze shooting patterns, spot peak moments, and evaluate hired photographer performance.
  • Unique Faces Count (Post Group-by-Face):

    After running Group-by-Face, see an estimate of how many unique individuals were photographed. This insight helps you gauge how effectively you encouraged photo subjects to provide their contact info and become Participants.

By understanding shooting trends and estimating how many distinct people you captured, you can refine your approach for future events and ensure no one’s left out. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 10, and remember we have a special announcement waiting for you on December 25th!

Hello again, my creative photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 8 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. We’ve highlighted features for events, sales, action photography, and sports-focused workflows.

Today, let’s celebrate a 2024 addition that brought artistry and personalization to your images: Full Frame Overlays & Custom Backgrounds.

Key Highlights:

  • Full Frame Overlays & Text Titles:

    Wrap entire images with themed frames—like a party pics overlay, a jungle design, or any style you choose—and add text titles right on the images. It’s a quick way to give your clients something more unique and memorable.
  • Custom Backgrounds & Pre-Rendering:

    Photographers can upload up to four custom backgrounds. These backgrounds will pre-render in the image gallery, so clients can instantly see how their images look against these new scenes. From festive holiday themes to brand-aligned designs, you can set the mood perfectly.
  • Import From Previous Events:

    Have a favorite overlay or background setup from a past event? Simply import it for a new event, maintaining consistency and saving setup time.

These visual customizations not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of your galleries but could also help boost sales by encouraging clients to purchase more prints and downloads that feel like true mementos. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 9, as we continue counting down the best of 2024. And don’t forget, something special awaits on December 25th!

Hello, my team-spirited photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and we’re on Day 7 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

We’ve already highlighted features that made action photography shine, and today’s topic is another sports-focused enhancement: GroupTags for Sports.

Key Highlights:

  • Organized Group Photos:

    Photographers can set up tags (e.g., team names, divisions) to categorize group images the way they want to, complete with emojis if desired!
  • Simple Selection for Customers:

    End customers arriving at the retail site can pick their group’s tag right from the start. No more endless scrolling through dozens of images to find their team!
  • Ideal for Leagues & Tournaments:

    GroupTags turned large sets of group photos into neatly sorted collections, making life easier for everyone.

By letting clients quickly find their specific group’s images, GroupTags improved the overall browsing experience and boosted satisfaction among team members, parents, and fans. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 8, as we continue this holiday journey through the year’s biggest features. And remember, something extra special is coming on December 25th!

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
