Did You Know? NowCandid™ Offers Retail Background Generation! ✨

Hello, fabulous photographers!

‍

Candy here, bringing you another “Did You Know?” feature highlight. Today’s spotlight is on a super-fun (and sometimes overlooked) part of our NowCandid™ retail site: AI-Generated Backgrounds for background-removed images. Let’s dive in!

‍

AI Background Generation

‍

When customers view or customize their images that have had their backgrounds removed, they’ll see an option inviting them to type in a text description of what they want behind them. Maybe it’s a colorful beach scene, a dreamy sunset, a whimsical forest—whatever the imagination conjures up! Our site will generate a fresh design tailored to that text prompt, giving them a truly unique final product.

‍

Why It Matters

‍

Personalized Shopping Experience: No two images look the same when customers can request different scenes. It’s perfect for capturing each individual’s tastes and vibes.
‍
Boosts Sales: The novelty factor of typing in a text prompt and watching a new background appear can encourage customers to experiment—and buy more customized images.
‍
Booking Tool: Using this feature as a sales tool to help you book parties, sports leagues, or anything else can be a way to get a gatekeeper's attention!

‍

How It Works

‍

Choose a Background-Removed Image: When browsing the NowCandid™ retail site, customers click on an image that’s had its background removed.
‍
Enter a Text Prompt: A simple text field awaits—“sunset on a calm lake,” “abstract rainbow swirl,” “comic book city,” etc.
‍
Watch It Appear: The site blends the subject with the newly generated backdrop. Customers can finalize it right there, or try another prompt until they’re happy.

‍

‍

That’s your little “Did You Know?” tip for today!

‍

We hope you’ll tell your clients about this magical customization option—it might spark new ideas (and more sales!) for their photos.

‍

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, let us know.Until next time, keep capturing those unforgettable moments! ✨

‍

‍Cheers and sparkles,

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!

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!

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.

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. 🎉

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.
