Capture & Upload App's Latest Update 3.17

Capture & Upload App's Latest Update 3.17
Hiya, NowCandid fam!

It's Candy here, with some hot-off-the-press news about our Capture & Upload app that's going to make your photography flow smoother than ever. We've listened to your feedback and sprinkled some improvements on both Windows and Apple iOS versions in our latest update, 3.17. 🌟

Changes Across Windows & Apple iOS Versions of the App

1.     Whoops! We didn't make this very clear before. We've clarified the messages when you incorrectly log in to the Capture & Upload App with your email and app passcode.

2.     Plus, we've changed the login button to say "Login" instead of "Save" – because sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference.

3.     A little redesign magic has made the "Cancel/Close" button on the login less attention-grabbing, since people were sometimes clicking it thinking it was a next step! Whoops.

4.     The latest version of the Capture & Upload app will also need to be used in order to utilize NowCandid's newest Background Removal feature (link)!

Changes to Only the Windows Version of the App

1.      Get ready to feel the need for speed! We've made improvements to the app, which means less memory usage, zippy startup times, and an overall performance boost that'll have you clicking happily away.

Changes to Only the Apple iOS Version of the App

1.     Volume button as a shutter? Yes, please! You can now use the volume up/down buttons for those sneaky quick captures when using your device's internal camera.

2.     Embrace the old and the new with support for select additional Sony cameras. We used to only support newer versions of Sony cameras! Check out the list at the bottom of this post to see if your gear's on there.

3.     And if you're rocking an iPhone 14 or older (or 9th gen iPad or older), we're helping you troubleshoot with a "Camera Trouble?" popup if no camera is detected for 15 seconds on shooting screens—complete with a helpful link to Apple's Camera Adapter (link), which you'll need to connect your camera to these lightning-port Apple devices.

4.     For our Nikon D7000 users, no more connection woes. We've ironed out those kinks for you!

5.     Noticed some off-center UI on your iPhone when using the Capture & Upload App? We've fixed that up too, so your app experience is as picture-perfect as your shots.

What's Next?

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates and improvements, because we're just getting started.

In the meantime, enjoy the new tweaks and treats with update 3.17, designed to keep your NowCandid experience as seamless as your photography skills. And as always, if you hit any bumps or have a lightbulb moment on how we can do better, drop us a line!

Happy shooting, everyone!

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!

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 6 – Action Photography Features 🏃‍♀️✨

Hello again, energetic photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 6 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

Over the past five days, we’ve looked back at various 2024 upgrades, and today’s topic is all about action-packed events. Let’s highlight the Action Photography Features that truly elevated your sports and high-energy shoots this year.

Key Highlights:

  • Dynamic Galleries:

    End customers can add images to their personal gallery on the fly. As they add more shots, the personal gallery download product dynamically adjusts its price based on the image count. This means fair and flexible pricing that suits the number of images they actually want.


  • View Photos in Sequence (SportsPics):

    We introduced a handy "view photos in sequence" button. Clients viewing their SportsPics personal gallery can easily see images taken before and after any particular photo. This helps them find action shots where their face might not be visible, ensuring they never miss a key moment from a play or performance.

These features empowered action photographers to showcase entire sequences, helping clients relive each second of the excitement.

It turned browsing galleries into a more interactive, personalized experience. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 7, as we continue our festive journey through the year’s top improvements.

And remember, something special waits under the tree on December 25th!

Hello again,  globally-minded photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 5 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

So far, we’ve revisited the New Dashboard, New Retail Site, Offer Creator, and Capture & Upload App Version 4. Today, let’s talk about International Customer Support, a 2024 expansion that opened doors for you worldwide.

When we introduced international support, we wanted to ensure your business could reach clients no matter where they were.

Here’s what made it possible:

  • Global Marketing Texts & Links:

    Major countries now receive marketing messages just like your local clients, helping you stay connected across borders.
  • International Orders & Shipping:

    Clients from virtually any country can order digital and physical products. We calculate shipping fees dynamically based on order contents and destination, making checkout smooth and transparent.

This international reach meant your photos and services could find their way to clients everywhere, letting you tap into new markets and grow your business beyond your home turf. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 6 as we continue this festive journey through 2024’s best features. And remember, something 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.
