Exciting New Option: Dynamic Personal Galleries! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Hello, my fabulous photographer friends!

โ€

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! ๐ŸŒŸ

โ€

Drumroll, please... ๐Ÿฅ

โ€

Introducing Dynamic Personal Galleries! ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

What Are Dynamic Personal Galleries?

โ€

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

โ€

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

โ€

  1. Empower Your Clients to Personalize Their Gallery:
    โ€
    • Clients can now add images to their personal gallery.
      โ€
    • 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.
      โ€
      โ€
  2. Dynamic Pricing for Personal Gallery Downloads:
    โ€
    • When this feature is enabled, the standard Personal Gallery Download product is replaced with a Dynamic Personal Gallery Download.
      โ€
    • How It Works:
      โ€
      • Minimum Price: You set a minimum price.
        โ€
      • Unit Price: You set a price per image.
        โ€
      • Flexible Pricing: If the total cost (image count ร— unit price) exceeds the minimum price, the client pays the higher amount.
        โ€
      • This means as clients add more images to their gallery, the price adjusts accordingly, offering a fair and customized price for their entire gallery.

โ€

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

โ€

When Would I Use this Feature?

โ€

Perfect for Action Photography

โ€

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:

โ€

  • Fair Pricing: The athlete with more photos pays a price for the personal gallery download that reflects the value they're receiving.
    โ€
  • 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).
    โ€
  • Increased Sales Potential: Offering flexibility can encourage clients to purchase more images.

โ€

Great for Events with Varied Image Counts

โ€

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

โ€

  • Tourism or Amusement Environments
    โ€
  • Youth Sports Tournaments
    โ€
  • Certain Social Events

โ€

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

โ€

How It Works on the Retail Site

โ€

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

โ€

Setting It Up in Your Dashboard

โ€

Enabling Dynamic Personal Galleries is a breeze:

โ€

  1. Navigate to Your Offer Settings:
    โ€
    • Go to the Offers section in your NowCandid dashboard.
      โ€
  2. Enable the Feature:
    โ€
    • Find the "Advanced Settings" and toggle on Dynamic Personal Galleries.

  3. Set Your Pricing:
    โ€
    • Enter your Minimum Price and Unit Price per image.
      โ€
  4. Save and Apply:
    โ€
    • Save your settings, and you're all set!

โ€

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

โ€

Hey there, NowCandid fam!

โ€

Candy here, your friendly AI assistant, ready to sprinkle a little more magic into your NowCandid experience. ๐Ÿฌโœจ

โ€

Iโ€™m thrilled to tell you about a fresh feature thatโ€™s going to keep you and your team even more connected and informedโ€”our brand-new Inbox within the web dashboard! ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€

We get itโ€”emails can sometimes slip through the cracks.

โ€

Maybe your inbox is overflowing, or maybe your NowCandid account emails go to an address you donโ€™t check as often. And if you have a big team? Letโ€™s just say things donโ€™t always get shared as quickly as youโ€™d like. ๐Ÿ˜…

โ€

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

โ€

โ€

๐Ÿ’Œ Why the Inbox is a Game-Changer

โ€

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

โ€

From now on, whenever thereโ€™s a big update, an important feature release, or a must-know maintenance alert, itโ€™ll be sitting in your Inbox, waiting for you and your team to check it out. ๐Ÿ“ฅ

โ€

Hereโ€™s what this means for you:

โ€

- Never Miss an Update: Important notifications will now be at your fingertips on the web dashboard, so youโ€™re always in the loop!
โ€

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

- Clear and Organized: Find everything in one place! From maintenance alerts to feature highlights, itโ€™s all right there, so you can stay informed and focused on capturing those amazing moments. ๐Ÿ“ธโœจ

โ€

๐ŸŒŸ Still Sending Emails, Just in Case!

โ€

But donโ€™t worry! Weโ€™ll still be sending email updates tooโ€”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!

โ€

So, whether itโ€™s an exciting new feature, a critical update, or just a little love note from me (Candy! ๐Ÿฌ), youโ€™ll find it in your Inbox from now on.

โ€

๐Ÿ’– Cheers to Staying Connected!

โ€

Weโ€™re here to support you every step of the way, and with this new Inbox, weโ€™re making it even easier for you to focus on what matters mostโ€”your photography and your clients.

โ€

Cheers, sparkles, and all the confetti...

โ€

1. Unique Faces Count After Group-By-Face ๐Ÿ‘ฅ

โ€

After running Group-By-Face, you can now see an estimated number of "Unique Faces" present in all the photos from your event.

โ€

  • 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.
    โ€
  • Quality Assurance: Use this count to ensure you're reaching your photography goals and maximizing coverage.

โ€

โ€

2. Capture App Version 4.7 Updates ๐Ÿ“ฑ

โ€

We've rolled out some important updates to the Capture App to enhance your shooting experience.

โ€

  • Improved Face Tap Boxes๐ŸŽฏ The manual face tap boxes are now a more reasonable size, making it easier to select faces accurately.
    โ€
  • "I Understand" Checkbox Visibilityโœ… 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.
    โ€
  • 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!

โ€

3. New 2x5 Scan Card Option for Scanner ID Workflow ๐Ÿ“

โ€

Introducing a second option for downloading a PDF of scan cards for the Scanner ID Workflow!

โ€

  • Smaller Card Size: Now available in a 2x5 format.
    โ€
  • Versatility: Ideal for situations where the standard card size is larger than desired.
    โ€
  • Sticker-Friendly: Great for printing on sticker labels instead of making cards.

โ€

โ€

4. Retail Site Tweaks for Better Mobile Experience ๐Ÿ“ฑ

โ€

We've made some adjustments to the retail site to enhance viewing on mobile devices:

โ€

  • Large Font Support: Improved compatibility for customers using large font settings on their phones.
    โ€
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Ensures a smooth shopping experience for all users, regardless of their device settings.

โ€

5. New Press & Hold to Download Feature for QuicPics & QuicPics GO ๐Ÿ“ฅ

โ€

We've added a Press & Hold to Download feature for end customers on the QuicPics and QuicPics GO retail sites!

โ€

  • Multiple Download Options: Provides another way for customers to download their free images.
    โ€
  • User-Friendly: Ensures customers can get their images no matter what user interface they're accustomed to.
    โ€
  • Easy Access: Simply press and hold on an image to download it directly to their device.

โ€

We're always here to support you!

โ€

Thank you for being an essential part of the NowCandid community. Keep capturing those unforgettable moments and creating smiles! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜Š

Cheers and sparkles,

Whatโ€™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.
