Want to get the most out of your photography business?
This is the opportunity you've been waiting for! Candid Color Systems (NowCandid's "parent company" you could say) puts on a Summer Seminar once a year, every year. It's a revolutionary chance to talk shop and network with other volume photographers from around the country, learn about what's new with NowCandid, hear about success stories of all kinds, see presentations from some expert guest speakers, and importantly - have fun! This experience has cultivated extreme growth for many of our partners.
Don’t miss the fun! Here are our top 7 things to do while in town!
1. Head to the beach!
Our hotel offers beach chair and umbrella service on this gorgeous stretch of sand!
Hop on and off the water taxi’s or just cruise to see the city for the water. Pass fabulous homes and amazing boats on your way around the intra-coastal waterway!
There is no better way to spend an evening! Have a cocktail and see amazing ships cruise by as the sun sets.
7. Head to the everglades!
If you have more time, we suggest a trip to the everglades. If you have a car, you can go direct and skip the tour vans. Go early in case of an afternoon shower in the everglade afternoons. And make sure you get on an actual Airboat for the full experience!

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.
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.
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.
