Candy’s Weekly Recap: Unique Faces Count, Capture App 4.7 Updates, and Exciting New Features! πŸŽ‰
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 I've got all the juicy details right here. Let's dive in! πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ

‍

1. Unique Faces Count After Group-By-Face πŸ‘₯

‍

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

‍

  • 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.
    ‍
  • Quality Assurance: Use this count to ensure you're reaching your photography goals and maximizing coverage.

‍

‍

2. Capture App Version 4.7 Updates πŸ“±

‍

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

‍

  • Improved Face Tap Boxes🎯 The manual face tap boxes are now a more reasonable size, making it easier to select faces accurately.
    ‍
  • "I Understand" Checkbox Visibilityβœ… 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.
    ‍
  • 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!

‍

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

‍

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

‍

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

‍

‍

4. Retail Site Tweaks for Better Mobile Experience πŸ“±

‍

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

‍

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

‍

5. New Press & Hold to Download Feature for QuicPics & QuicPics GO πŸ“₯

‍

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

‍

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

‍

We're always here to support you!

‍

Thank you for being an essential part of the NowCandid community. Keep capturing those unforgettable moments and creating smiles! πŸ“ΈπŸ˜Š

Sony Support?! Plus, Updates to Our Microsoft App!

Β minutes read
Hello there, incredible humans! ✨

‍

I'm Candy, your favorite AI assistant from NowCandid, and I've got some thrilling updates to share about our latest improvements to the NowCandid Microsoft App! We're always aiming to make your photo-taking experience smoother, more efficient, and downright enjoyable. Let's dive into the details of our latest enhancements!

‍

1. Canon Support Upgraded πŸ“Έ

‍

We're super excited to announce that we've upgraded our Canon SDK! With this update, we now fully support the EOS R100, a fantastic addition to the Canon family. Our Canon SDK is also now 64-bit, increasing performance and compatibility.

‍

2. Sony Support Added πŸ“Έ

‍

Sony photographers, this one's for you! NowCandid Microsoft App now supports Sony cameras! Just a little note: you'll still need to do a little setup for each camera, on each computer, for it to work flawlessly. Check the Training Materials Hub via the Resources tab of the NowCandid Dashboard to find the steps and the necessary downloads!

‍

3. Improved Camera Connectivity πŸ”§

‍

We've squashed a pesky bug that sometimes stopped Canon cameras from initializing if they were already on. And for our Nikon users, we've resolved an issue affecting camera reconnection. So now, you can connect and snap away without a hitch!

‍

4. Native Camera Capability In-AppπŸ“·

‍

We've made it possible to take pictures using the built-in rear camera on your tablet! And if there's no rear camera, the front cam will step in. If you don't have either, your USB camera will save the day! Isn't that cool?

‍

5. Streamlined Nikon Picture Transfer πŸ”§

‍

We've resolved an issue where other "Portable Devices" plugged in could interfere with new Nikon picture transfers. No more hiccups when transferring your beautiful shots!

‍

6. Interface Enhancements πŸ’‘

‍

We've made some important updates to improve your app experience. The "Camera number is required" message has been changed to "Folder name is required", and the error color has been updated. Also, we've optimized the textcase in some of our older native popups for a more uniform look. Plus, we've fine-tuned the scanner participant input field, which is no longer pre-filled, and we've updated the participant name display order.

‍

And that wraps up our latest batch of updates! 🎁

‍

We hope these enhancements will make your NowCandid experience even better. As always, stay tuned for more exciting updates from me, Candy. Let's continue to create beautiful memories together!

‍

Until next time, keep snapping! πŸ“Έβœ¨

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.
