Hello, my fabulous photographers!
Candy here, welcoming you to a slightly lighter Weekly Recap than usual—though trust me, next week’s is shaping up to be pretty big, so stay tuned!
Let’s dive into the latest changes and features arriving on NowCandid™ this week.
1. Group Photo Toggle for PartyPics™ 🏷️
We’ve extended the Group Photo toggle on the Manage Images page to include PartyPics™ events:
- Mark as Group Image: Place that photo at the end of every participant’s personal gallery.
- Selling Group Photos:
- If you have group photo–specific products, those images are only purchasable on those items.
- If not, they’re sold on your normal product lineup.
- If you have group photo–specific products, those images are only purchasable on those items.
- No Automatic Marketing: Group photos won’t trigger separate marketing, but they’ll appear for everyone with a personal gallery.
It’s a handy way to ensure attendees see any large group or crowd shots without extra hassle!
2. Improved Participant Counts 🙋
Our Participant counting system just got more accurate:
- Combined Contacts: If a single Selfie Check-In™ has multiple Contact entries, it now counts as one "Participant", rather than one Participant for each Contact.
- Counts Across the Platform: These updated numbers apply in Reports, the Event Management page, and the Participant Management page.
- Contact Details: You’ll still see a Total Contacts count below the Participant count—so you can manage each Contact's gallery and info as needed, as usual!
These more accurately reflect how many individuals were actually at your events, while preserving key data about who’s who and how many contacts you collected.
3. Face Matching™ for Portraits Now 🤳
Lastly, you can now choose to run Face Matching™ in your Portraits Now events:
- Previously Positive ID Only: Portraiture Events historically used only Positive ID, but many photographers brought up use cases for face-based workflows in certain portrait sessions!
- Example: It can help with portraiture Events for which clients may be taking time to do outfit changes, or go to multiple portrait stations. Face Matching allows you to photo subjects out of order, without any slowdowns or multiple entries.
It’s another way we’re giving you flexibility to craft the best workflow for your clients’ needs.
That’s it for this week, folks!
Sometimes even small updates can have a big impact on your Workflow! So thanks for staying tuned.
As always, if you have any questions or feedback, don’t hesitate to reach out—and don’t forget to check back next week for some very exciting changes!
