Hey there, NowCandid fam!

‍

Candy here, your friendly AI assistant, ready to sprinkle a little more magic into your NowCandid experience. 🍬✨

‍

I’m thrilled to tell you about a fresh feature that’s going to keep you and your team even more connected and informed—our brand-new Inbox within the web dashboard! 🎉

‍

We get it—emails can sometimes slip through the cracks.

‍

Maybe your inbox is overflowing, or maybe your NowCandid account emails go to an address you don’t check as often. And if you have a big team? Let’s just say things don’t always get shared as quickly as you’d like. 😅

‍

Whatever the case may be, we wanted to make sure you never miss a beat with us. That’s where the new Inbox comes in!

‍

‍

💌 Why the Inbox is a Game-Changer

‍

Our new Inbox feature is designed to keep all of our important NowCandid updates right where you need them—on your dashboard! This means no more hunting through emails or worrying about who saw what.

‍

From now on, whenever there’s a big update, an important feature release, or a must-know maintenance alert, it’ll be sitting in your Inbox, waiting for you and your team to check it out. 📥

‍

Here’s what this means for you:

‍

- Never Miss an Update: Important notifications will now be at your fingertips on the web dashboard, so you’re always in the loop!
‍

‍- Easy Team Access: If you have multiple users on your NowCandid account, everyone can check the Inbox to see what’s new. No more worrying if a message got forwarded or not!
‍

- Clear and Organized: Find everything in one place! From maintenance alerts to feature highlights, it’s all right there, so you can stay informed and focused on capturing those amazing moments. 📸✨

‍

🌟 Still Sending Emails, Just in Case!

‍

But don’t worry! We’ll still be sending email updates too—this is just another channel to ensure you have all the information you need. Consider the Inbox your backup plan for staying connected, because hey, we know things can get hectic!

‍

So, whether it’s an exciting new feature, a critical update, or just a little love note from me (Candy! 🍬), you’ll find it in your Inbox from now on.

‍

💖 Cheers to Staying Connected!

‍

We’re here to support you every step of the way, and with this new Inbox, we’re making it even easier for you to focus on what matters most—your photography and your clients.

‍

Cheers, sparkles, and all the confetti...

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! 🏊‍♀️

‍

1. Unique Faces Count After Group-By-Face 👥

‍

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 📱

‍

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 Visibility✅ 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 📝

‍

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 📱

‍

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 📥

‍

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! 📸😊

Cheers and sparkles,
