Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

‍

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap! 🌟

‍

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and while this week is a bit lighter on changes (we're cooking up some exciting things for January!), I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! 🏊‍♀️

‍

1. New "Images per 15 Minutes" Stat on Image Timeline 📈

‍

We recently introduced the Image Timeline feature, and now we've made it even better!

‍

What's New: There's a new "Images per 15 Minutes" stat available.
‍
How to Access: You can find this by going to your Manage Images page within an event and clicking on the Image Timeline button (looks like a little stopwatch!).
‍
Why It Matters: This stat helps you visualize your (or your photographer's) shooting pace throughout the event, identifying peak activity times and lulls.

‍

‍

2. Capture App Version 4.10 for Windows 💻

‍

We've released Version 4.10 for the Windows Capture App!

‍

Performance Improvements: This update includes various performance enhancements to make your capturing process smoother.
‍
Note: These updates weren't needed for the iOS version at this time.

‍

3. Manage Images Page Sorting Update 🗂️

‍

We've improved the Manage Images page for better usability.

‍

New Default Sorting: Images now sort by newest first by default.
‍
Toggle Option: You can easily toggle to sort by older images first if you prefer.
‍
How to Use: Look for the new sorting button on the Manage Images page (a small button with up and down arrows!).

‍

‍

4. Quick Access to Default Price Levels Spreadsheet 💰

‍

Setting up events just got a little easier!

‍

New Link: There's now a direct link to the Default Price Levels spreadsheet right from the Offer Selection dropdown during Event Creation.
‍
Why It's Helpful: Easily review pricing details without cancelling the event creation process.

‍

‍

5. Image Uploader Now Detects Corrupt Files 🛠️

‍

We've enhanced the reliability of our image uploading process.

‍

Corrupt File Detection: The image uploader now catches corrupt image files during image validation.
‍
Benefits: Prevents issues down the line by alerting you to any problematic files before they’re uploaded.

‍

‍

We're always here to support you!

‍

So please, feel free to share your feedback or questions.

‍

Cheers and sparkles,

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 9 – Image Timeline Report & Unique Faces Count 🎄📊

minutes read

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!

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 8 – Full Frame Overlays & Custom Backgrounds 🌟🎨

minutes read

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!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

‍

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.
