Weekly Recap: Capture 4.20, Favorites for All Image Galleries, and More 📸
Hey hey! Candy here with your NowCandid updates.

‍

Let’s dig into what’s new this week:

‍

🚀 Capture App Version 4.20 Is Here!

‍

Big updates just dropped in NowCandid Capture App v4.20, and I’m here to walk you through all the exciting changes. Whether you’re on iPhone, iPad, or now even a Mac, this update makes capturing better, faster, and more flexible than ever.

‍

‍

🖥️ Now on Apple Silicon Macs!

‍

Mac support has officially landed!

‍
If you’ve got a Mac from 2020 or newer (Apple Silicon), you can now run the NowCandid Capture App directly on your computer. That means full access to camera tethering, live-uploading, Selfie Check-In Station, and more—all in the same app you already know and love on iOS and iPadOS.

‍

Perfect for studio setups or hybrid workflows where a full keyboard and screen come in handy!

‍

📷 Fujifilm Joins the Party

‍

That’s right—Fujifilm cameras are now fully supported!

‍
With this, all five major camera brands are compatible with NowCandid Capture & Upload:

  • • Canon
  • • Sony
  • • Nikon
  • • LUMIX
  • • Fujifilm

‍

So, if you’re shooting sports, portraits, grads, or events on a Fuji body, you’re now cleared for lift-off. 🎉

‍

NOTE: To connect a Fuji camera to the Capture & Upload App, you must select a USB Tether Shooting option in the camera's Networking Settings.

‍

🔮 Future-Proofed for Apple OS Updates

‍

Capture App v4.20 includes early support for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, so you’ll be all set once those updates roll out later this year. No last-minute patching or scrambling required.

‍

🎨 Visual & Interface Upgrades

‍

  • • Animated UI numbers (like image counts!) now update with fun, smooth transitions.
  • • New Shooting Page UI on iPhone gives more space to your camera feed.
  • • Sharpened icons throughout the app—crisper visuals everywhere.
  • • Phone keypad is now larger and easier to tap.
  • • PhotoTags popup got a cleaner layout.
  • • Updated splash screen messages: wittier, more emoji-filled, and faster-loading too!

‍

📸 Photo Booth & Selfie Check-In Tweaks

‍

  • • New Color Filters for Photo Booth: Try out Juno, Lark, Mayfair, Sierra, and Walden—just like your favorite photo apps.
  • • Photo Booth collage previews now live-update when filters or backgrounds change. What you see is actually what you get!
  • • Internal camera now runs at 60fps on the Shooting Page, Selfie Check-In Station, and Photo Booth Mode for smoother live-video feeds.
  • • Flash support added to Selfie Check-In: the screen will flash during the photo if your device decides it’s needed.
  • • "Close" button for Selfie Check-In Station is now only shown during the contact info step (to reduce some confusion users had).

‍

🛠️ Performance & Power Gains

‍

  • • Better battery life and CPU usage from under-the-hood improvements.
  • • General performance improvements to make the app snappier.
  • • iOS 18+ now supports dark mode icons and tinted app icon options for better theme matching on your device.
  • • The Lock button is now in the iPhone's shooting page wheel menu—it’s still there if you need it, just tidier.

‍

With v4.20, the NowCandid Capture App is faster, more flexible, and ready for more workflows than ever—whether you’re on your phone, iPad, or a shiny new Mac. 🧃

‍

⭐ Favorites for All-Image Gallery Links

‍

Your subjects can now favorite images when viewing the All Images Gallery for an Event! Favorites will stick around between sessions on the same device and browser, and if the visitor logs in, they’ll sync across their devices too.

‍

This opens up new workflows for action sports photographers and beyond. Want to promote the full gallery and let customers find their pics with JerseyJotter™ filters? Now they can build their own personal gallery of favorites, even if they didn’t check in or match through Face Matching. In general, this makes the All Images Gallery more shoppable for every type of Event.

‍

‍

🔧 Misc New Features & Tweaks

‍

Some smaller updates this week—still useful!

‍

  • 📥 Press & Hold Downloads (Now with Backgrounds!)
    QuicPics users on mobile can now press and hold to download images with their selected background. Previously, this was only available through the cart and checkout.
    ‍
  • 🔢 JerseyJotter™ Filter Stats Update
    When filtering by number, color filter stats will now update dynamically to reflect how many images match both filters. It’s a smarter way to narrow things down.
    ‍
  • 🛡️ GalleryGuard™ in Photo Synthesis™ Galleries
    Retail visitors browsing their Photo Synthesis™ gallery via Quic.Pics are now protected by screenshot blocking, just like the standard retail site. 📵
    ‍
  • 💰 Sort by Purchased Images
    On the Manage Images page, you can now sort by “Purchased Images” to see what’s actually selling. Great for evaluating your top-performing shots!
    ‍
  • 🧠📸 Memory Mate is now a "Hybrid" product!
    ‍    We’ve updated how Memory Mate products behave on the retail site. They’ll now show up in both the Group and Individual product sections depending on what photo types are available in the gallery.
    Even better: when a customer clicks into the product gallery, Memory Mates will preview with either the group photo or individual photo already filled in—whichever one they had selected going in.

‍

That’s everything for Now!

‍

More improvements coming your way soon. Keep snapping, tagging, and selling—I'll be here making it smoother every step of the way.

‍

Cheers,

Candy

How One Night Led to $15,000 in Social Photography Sales

Amy Lombardo, and her photography group recently sent several photographers to a military ball and at the time of writing this article, had over $15,000 in sales! To accomplish this, Amy used Now Candid’s Party Pics Now program & Tap A Face workflow with 4 photographers at the event. Several of these photographers worked photo stations with backdrops Amy provided (gray backgrounds with flags bordering the background) while other photographers roamed the party taking posed photos of the guests.

$15,000 is a lot of sales for one social event already, but it is especially impressive when you consider the fact that this was Amy’s first Now Candid event.

Amy Lombardo had this advice for those considering using Now Candid for their next event: “Keep it simple and trust the process. … When planning my first Now Candid event, I was advised to not overcomplicate things and to not get hung up on some of the more minor details. Following through with how the system is intended to work turned out very well for us!”

Thanks for trusting the process Amy! We wish you many successful events to come. To see Amy’s entire video testimonial, click the play button below.

Scanner Identification Now Available in Our Microsoft Store App

Scanner Identification Now Available in Our Microsoft Store App

7
 minutes read

We have a new update now available for the Now Candid Microsoft Store App! This update has several quality of life changes and logging improvements, but the main change is that Scanner Identification has finally been implemented!

 

Scanner Identification is a system that positively IDs images to your customers using, as the name implies, a scanner to scan a customer’s QR card.

 

When setting up your event you can generate these QR cards (more on that later) that your customers can scan with their phone to input their contact information. From there, the info & QR code are linked. Any time a QR code is scanned by the photographer that starts a session, and all subsequent photos taken will be matched to that contact info until another QR code is scanned.

 

At this time, Scanner Identification will only be usable with Sports Pics Now and Portraits Now. During event creation, when one of those two programs have been selected, you’ll choose either the “Tap A Face & Selfie Registration” option, or the “Scanner Identification” option. Once Scanner Identification has been selected and the event created, you’ll be able to input how many QR cards you need and a PDF will be generated with that many cards.

 

You’ll want to print out the PDF on perforated paper such as this 4 up card paper found on Amazon to more easily distribute cards without manually cutting all the paper.

 

The Scanner Identification workflow does require an LTE tablet! It’s required both as a device to connect your scanner to and as a way to upload your images live at the event so that guests can have links to buy their images moments after their session ends! Since facial recognition is not being used, galleries will be sent even more quickly and with 100% of the images taken during the session.

 

If you happen to have a very poor internet connection at your event, bringing the tablet and camera to a location with a strong internet connection after the event will send up all the images at that time! Paired to the data you scanned with it at the time of taking the image.

How Bruce H. Used GradPics Now to Increase Sales

How Bruce H. Used GradPics Now to Increase Sales

 minutes read
Bruce Heflin utilized Now Candid’s Grad Pics Now, with Selfie Check-In at a recent graduation, so far racking up roughly $2600 in total sales in less than two weeks.

‍

Heflin had covered this Nursing College’s graduation in previous years, generating roughly $200 in sales each year. The sales had been so dismal the administrator would provide gas money to keep Bruce coming back. This year was a different story, Heflin has managed to increase his sales by roughly 1200% with the help of Grad Pics Now’s Selfie Check-In Workflow & automated marketing campaigns.

‍

Here's How He Did It:‍

‍

1. Used Selfie Check-In to collect correct & current contact data

2. Sent automated marketing messages during the event

3. Bruce had about $200 in sales by the time he reached home an hour or so after the event (he didn't have to go back to the office!)

4. He used a mix of GPN Price Levels 1 & 3

5. He had a total profit margin of roughly 75% across the College’s ceremonies after accounting for the 85% margin for digital downloads.

6. We’re excited to see people discovering the effectiveness of Now Candid’s systems in action when executed properly with quality photography!

‍

We recently caught up with Bruce to get a better idea of how he started incorporating Now Candid's tools into his existing photography business. Watch the video below to hear from Bruce.

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.
