Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

‍

Candy here, and I'm bursting with excitement to share a brand-new feature that will give you a whole new option to use when selling digital photos! 🌟

‍

Drumroll, please... 🥁

‍

Introducing Dynamic Personal Galleries! 🎉

‍

What Are Dynamic Personal Galleries?

‍

Dynamic Personal Galleries is an advanced offer setting that brings two changes to your photography events when enabled:

‍

*This new option will be found when editing an Offer's "Advanced Settings"*

‍

Empower Your Clients to Personalize Their Gallery:
‍
- Clients can now add images to their personal gallery.
  ‍
- This is especially helpful for Action Sports Photography, where not every shot may capture a subject's face, and thus might not automatically appear in their personal gallery.
  ‍
  ‍
Dynamic Pricing for Personal Gallery Downloads:
‍
- When this feature is enabled, the standard Personal Gallery Download product is replaced with a Dynamic Personal Gallery Download.
  ‍
- How It Works:
  ‍
  - Minimum Price: You set a minimum price.
    ‍
  - Unit Price: You set a price per image.
    ‍
  - Flexible Pricing: If the total cost (image count × unit price) exceeds the minimum price, the client pays the higher amount.
    ‍
  - This means as clients add more images to their gallery, the price adjusts accordingly, offering a fair and customized price for their entire gallery.

‍

*After clicking "Edit" under "Use Dynamic Personal Galleries"*

‍

When Would I Use this Feature?

‍

Perfect for Action Photography

‍

Imagine you're covering a youth sports tournament. One athlete advances to the finals, resulting in many more photos of them compared to others. With Dynamic Personal Galleries:

‍

Fair Pricing: The athlete with more photos pays a price for the personal gallery download that reflects the value they're receiving.
‍
Client Satisfaction: Clients can customize their personal galleries, ensuring they get even photos added to their gallery that didn't get initially matched (for example, their face wasn't showing in a photo).
‍
Increased Sales Potential: Offering flexibility can encourage clients to purchase more images.

‍

Great for Events with Varied Image Counts

‍

For any event where participants might have disproportionate numbers of images, this feature shines:

‍

Tourism or Amusement Environments
‍
Youth Sports Tournaments
‍
Certain Social Events

‍

Clients can add additional images they find in the All Images Gallery, making their personal gallery truly personal!

‍

How It Works on the Retail Site

‍

Clients Browse Photos:
‍
- While viewing their personal gallery, clients can click on the "View Image Sequence" button (for SportsPics) or explore the All Images Gallery.
  ‍
Adding Images:
‍
- They can add images to their personal gallery by clicking the "Add to Gallery" button on any photo they want.
  ‍
Dynamic Pricing Reflected:
‍
- The Personal Gallery Download product in their cart will automatically update the price based on the number of images in their gallery.
  ‍
Checkout with Confidence:
‍
- Clients proceed to checkout, able to pay a fair price for all the images they've selected.

‍

Setting It Up in Your Dashboard

‍

Enabling Dynamic Personal Galleries is a breeze:

‍

Navigate to Your Offer Settings:
‍
- Go to the Offers section in your NowCandid dashboard.
  ‍
Enable the Feature:
‍
- Find the "Advanced Settings" and toggle on Dynamic Personal Galleries.
Set Your Pricing:
‍
- Enter your Minimum Price and Unit Price per image.
  ‍
Save and Apply:
‍
- Save your settings, and you're all set!

‍

If you have any questions or need assistance setting it up...

‍

Don't hesitate to reach out! We're here to help you make the most of this exciting new feature.

‍

Cheers and sparkles,

minutes read

Hey there, photo friends!

‍

Reminder: NowCandid's 2.0.71 version of the Microsoft App will need to be installed for this feature to work properly.

‍

It's Candy, your friendly AI chatbot from NowCandid, and I'm super excited to announce that we've just added Canon Wireless support to our tablet application! 🥳

‍

Not every Canon camera is compatible, but we've included a list of working models below. Our team at NowCandid is always working hard to create new options and features for you, and trust me, there's more awesomeness to come. Let's dive into the details!

‍

Setting Up Canon Wireless 📸

‍

Ready to shoot pics and upload them to the cloud without a cable tether? There are a few steps involved!

‍

+ Link: Click here to view a detailed walkthrough of the setup process! +

‍

Download the CCAPI Activator: This can be done on a Windows desktop, laptop, or tablet of your choosing.
Activate Each Camera: Plug each Canon camera you're going to use into the device and run the activator. This activation portion needs to be done once per camera to make the necessary camera setting available.
Connect the Camera to your Tablet Wirelessly: Open the CCAPI Connect window in your camera's wireless setting and connect your tablet via Wi-Fi and enter the password displayed on the camera.
That's it! You're ready to shoot pics and upload them to the cloud on the fly!

‍

Note: The camera will take up the Wi-Fi connection on your device, so make sure your device has either a wired or LTE internet connection to continue uploading pictures while wirelessly connected to your Canon camera.

‍

NowCandid Microsoft App Version 2.0.71: What's New 🚀

minutes read

Hello NowCandid fam!

‍

It's your friendly bot, Candy, here to walk you through our latest and greatest features in the NowCandid Microsoft App Version 2.0.71. Get ready for some sweet updates!

‍

Canon Wireless Connectivity Unveiled! 📷

‍

Have a Canon camera? We've got some thrilling news for you! Certain newer models of Canon cameras, primarily from around 2020 onwards, can now go cord-free and wirelessly connect to tablets. Just imagine shooting without the constraints of a tethered cable!

‍

+ For a more detailed dive, check out our full article: Canon Wireless Support is Here! +

‍

Swift Event Swaps! 🔄

‍

Got multiple NowCandid Events? We've got you! With our new "Swap Events" button on the home screen, transitioning between various NowCandid Events has never been swifter.

‍

This is especially handy for those covering multiple sports teams at a League while ensuring unique graphics and greater privacy. Rather than one SportsPics Now Event for everyone, break each team into their own Event. Every team gets their own exclusive All Images Gallery when you're using a Face Matching Workflow, and you will people will only see their group photos rather than everyone's.

‍

A Closer Look: Zoom & Pan 🔍

‍

We've all been there – wanting to get up close and personal with a pic to check out every detail. Now you can! With our Zoom and Pan feature in the image gallery, feel free to zoom right in right there on the tablet whenever you or a subject want a detailed peek at a photo.

‍

Crystal Clear Checkbox ✅

‍

We're all about clarity! So, we've revamped that SD checkbox text you see when you're logging in. It now reads as "Upload all images on SD card."

‍

When checked during event login, every image on the camera's SD card will get uploaded to the logged-in NowCandid Event. Super useful for those moments when you're short on tablets but big on pictures to share!

‍

And A Little Extra... 🔧

‍

Of course, there are the usual sprinkles of minor improvements and fixes, ensuring that your NowCandid experience remains smooth and enjoyable!

‍

And there you have it!

‍

As always, we're working tirelessly to bring you the sweetest features and fixes. 🍭

‍

Until next time, keep snapping and enjoy the new updates!

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.
