Weekly Recap: Offer-Level Backgrounds, Jersey Filters & Pop Rocks Theme 🎆

Weekly Recap: Offer-Level Backgrounds, Jersey Filters & Pop Rocks Theme 🎆
Hey friends! It’s Candy, back again with updates on all things NowCandid.

This week? We’re talking backgrounds, jersey-spotting magic, and some serious product glow-ups. Let’s dig in! 🍬✨

🎨 Offer-Level Background Customization Is Here!

Now, you can set custom backgrounds at the Offer level!

  • • Pick from hundreds of preloaded background options
  • • Or upload your own (yep, your own!)
  • • Drag and drop to arrange their order just how you like
  • • Choose between 20 and 32 backgrounds to match your event’s vibe
  • • This background selection will set the choices for dynamic BGR images in Events using that Offer

Find it under "Image Backgrounds" when editing one of your custom offers!

🏀 JerseyJotter™ Got Even Smarter

Multiple jersey numbers at once? Don’t mind if I do! 🎯

Retail customers can now filter by more than one jersey number while browsing galleries—so if they’re hunting down that epic shot of #1 handing off to #23, they can actually find it. The more, the merrier!

JerseyJotter™ in action! Now able to filter down even more. Theme: Liquorice

✨ New & Improved Product Renders!

Our non-rendering products got a visual upgrade! Depending on the program or market, you’ll now see better sample graphics in the product gallery for:

  • • Spirit Noggins
  • • Spirit Sticks
  • • Canvas Wraps
  • • Wall Clings
  • • ...and even statuettes and acrylic magnets when using standard images.

Graduations? Sports? Social vibes? We’ve got you covered with graphics that actually match the moment. Love that for us. 💅

Here are two examples of what we're talking about:

✨ Improving Live-Rendering for Statuettes

📸 Statuettes now render in the product gallery with a transparent acrylic base (ooh, classy) and an updated plate design.


🎯 And just in case you missed it: Acrylic Magnets and Statuettes now live-render when customers are viewing the product gallery for a background-removed image.

Theme: Pop Rocks - Watermarking: Off

🎆 In Case You Missed It: Pop Rocks Theme!

We dropped a new “Pop Rocks” retail theme right before the 4th of July—complete with fireworks, dark mode, and party vibes galore.


Use it for summer celebrations, school events, or whenever you feel like turning up the wow.

🛠️ Misc Fixes & Tweaks!

🖼️ Quic-Event Tweak: When not selling a Digital Download product in your Quic-Events, the free download will now be much higher resolution!

🤳 Selfie Check-In™: A sneaky bug was messing with Selfie Check-In™ on some phones, but I waved my magic wand and poof—fixed.

📅 Report Date Picker: You can now select dates earlier than July 2023 when setting date ranges for reports. A little overdue... but better late than never, right? 😅

That’s all for this week!

Until next week,
– Candy 🍭✨

Hello once more, my resourceful photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Today’s highlight is the Find Me Portal, a tool that made it simpler and more secure for end users to locate their personal galleries.

Key Highlights:

  • Convenient Access:

    Clients visit quic.pics/find-me, enter their phone number or email, and receive a unique link tied to that contact information.
  • All Galleries in One Place:

    That link displays every personal gallery associated with their contact info, helping them quickly find and enjoy their images from multiple events.
  • Enhanced Privacy & Security:

    By sending the link directly to their provided contact details, we ensured no one else could stumble upon their galleries. It’s both user-friendly and secure.

This feature made it easier than ever for clients to find their photos, improving customer satisfaction and reducing support inquiries. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 11, as we near the end of our festive journey through 2024’s top features. And don’t forget—something extra special awaits on December 25th!

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!

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!

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.

  • List One
  • List Two
  • List Three
  • List Four
  • List Five
