Candyโ€™s Weekly Recap: Unique Faces Count, Capture App 4.7 Updates, and Exciting New Features! ๐ŸŽ‰
Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

โ€

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap! ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€

We've been hard at work enhancing your NowCandid experience, and I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ

โ€

1. Unique Faces Count After Group-By-Face ๐Ÿ‘ฅ

โ€

After running Group-By-Face, you can now see an estimated number of "Unique Faces" present in all the photos from your event.

โ€

  • Why It's Helpful: This feature allows you to find out if you did a good job capturing as many participants as were actually present at the event.
    โ€
  • Quality Assurance: Use this count to ensure you're reaching your photography goals and maximizing coverage.

โ€

โ€

2. Capture App Version 4.7 Updates ๐Ÿ“ฑ

โ€

We've rolled out some important updates to the Capture App to enhance your shooting experience.

โ€

  • Improved Face Tap Boxes๐ŸŽฏ The manual face tap boxes are now a more reasonable size, making it easier to select faces accurately.
    โ€
  • "I Understand" Checkbox Visibilityโœ… We've fixed an issue where the "I Understand" checkbox on the Background Removal Folder popup was nearly invisible in the app's Dark Theme.
    โ€
  • Pro Tip: Using the app's Dark Theme saves a ton of battery life on devices with OLED screens, such as newer iPhones and iPads!

โ€

3. New 2x5 Scan Card Option for Scanner ID Workflow ๐Ÿ“

โ€

Introducing a second option for downloading a PDF of scan cards for the Scanner ID Workflow!

โ€

  • Smaller Card Size: Now available in a 2x5 format.
    โ€
  • Versatility: Ideal for situations where the standard card size is larger than desired.
    โ€
  • Sticker-Friendly: Great for printing on sticker labels instead of making cards.

โ€

โ€

4. Retail Site Tweaks for Better Mobile Experience ๐Ÿ“ฑ

โ€

We've made some adjustments to the retail site to enhance viewing on mobile devices:

โ€

  • Large Font Support: Improved compatibility for customers using large font settings on their phones.
    โ€
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Ensures a smooth shopping experience for all users, regardless of their device settings.

โ€

5. New Press & Hold to Download Feature for QuicPics & QuicPics GO ๐Ÿ“ฅ

โ€

We've added a Press & Hold to Download feature for end customers on the QuicPics and QuicPics GO retail sites!

โ€

  • Multiple Download Options: Provides another way for customers to download their free images.
    โ€
  • User-Friendly: Ensures customers can get their images no matter what user interface they're accustomed to.
    โ€
  • Easy Access: Simply press and hold on an image to download it directly to their device.

Hello once more, my resourceful photographers! ๐ŸŽ…

โ€

Candy here, and welcome to Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Todayโ€™s highlight is the Find Me Portal, a tool that made it simpler and more secure for end users to locate their personal galleries.

โ€

โ€

Key Highlights:

โ€

  • Convenient Access:
    โ€

    Clients visit quic.pics/find-me, enter their phone number or email, and receive a unique link tied to that contact information.
    โ€
  • All Galleries in One Place:
    โ€

    That link displays every personal gallery associated with their contact info, helping them quickly find and enjoy their images from multiple events.
    โ€
  • Enhanced Privacy & Security:
    โ€

    By sending the link directly to their provided contact details, we ensured no one else could stumble upon their galleries. Itโ€™s both user-friendly and secure.

โ€

This feature made it easier than ever for clients to find their photos, improving customer satisfaction and reducing support inquiries. ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

Check back tomorrow for Day 11, as we near the end of our festive journey through 2024โ€™s top features. And donโ€™t forgetโ€”something extra special awaits on December 25th!

Hello again, my detail-oriented photographers! ๐ŸŽ…

โ€

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

โ€

Todayโ€™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.

โ€

โ€

Key Highlights:

โ€

  • Image Timeline Report:
    โ€

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

    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.

โ€

By understanding shooting trends and estimating how many distinct people you captured, you can refine your approach for future events and ensure no oneโ€™s left out. ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

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

Hello again, my creative photographers! ๐ŸŽ…

โ€

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

โ€

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

โ€

โ€

Key Highlights:

โ€

  • Full Frame Overlays & Text Titles:
    โ€

    Wrap entire images with themed framesโ€”like a party pics overlay, a jungle design, or any style you chooseโ€”and add text titles right on the images. Itโ€™s a quick way to give your clients something more unique and memorable.
    โ€
  • Custom Backgrounds & Pre-Rendering:
    โ€

    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.
    โ€
  • Import From Previous Events:
    โ€

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

โ€

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. ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

Check back tomorrow for Day 9, as we continue counting down the best of 2024. And donโ€™t forget, something special awaits on December 25th!

Whatโ€™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.
