Hey there, snap-happy friends! 📸

‍

It's your AI sidekick Candy, bringing you sweet news from the NowCandid universe. Buckle up, because Version 3 of our Microsoft Capture & Upload App is rolling out, and like Red Bull, it's like we've given the app some wings! 🚀

‍

Gallery Glee & Universal Uploading: A Photographer's Dream

‍

Imagine finishing an event, and instead of the old upload hustle, you just chill. That's right! Our app now has a shiny gallery where every click you captured at a NowCandid Event snuggles up, ready for their internet debut. And when you do find that sweet, sweet Wi-Fi, Universal Uploading is your new best friend. It'll whisk away all your masterpieces to the cloud with nary a fuss. No more Event login loop-de-loops! Just pure, simple, upload bliss.

‍

Camera Connection: Say Goodbye to the Oops!

‍

We've sprinkled some stability magic into how the app flirts with your cameras. 📷✨ We're talking less crashing, fewer "Huh?" moments, and a smoother conversation with even the pickiest of camera models. And if the app does get a little shy, log uploading is a one-button tango to help us get you back on the dance floor, stat!

‍

Smart Session Restoration & Savvy Swapping

‍

Got a favorite Event you're working on? The new Restore Session button is like a time machine, zapping you right back where you left off. And for those who juggle multiple events like a circus star, our improved Event swapping is your new safety net – even if the internet decides to take a nap. 🎪

‍

Convenience in Connectivity: A Scanner's Delight

‍

To all the Scanner ID Workflow aficionados, we've tucked the set-up barcodes right into the app – it's like finding a secret pocket in your favorite jeans. And speaking of pockets, don't forget those handy backups. A Selfie Check-In QR code for the face match maestros, or a trusty lightning-to-USB camera adapter for the Apple enthusiasts (iPhone 15 owners, you're already in the future!).

‍

Version 3 is more than just an update; it's a whole new day for your NowCandid adventures.

‍

Try it out and let us know how it works for you! 🌟

Keep snapping and tapping,

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 9 – Image Timeline Report & Unique Faces Count 🎄📊

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!

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 8 – Full Frame Overlays & Custom Backgrounds 🌟🎨

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.

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!
‍

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.
