Weekly Recap: JerseyJotter™, SportsPics Action Pricing, and Smarter Gallery Sharing🏷️
Hey there, it’s Candy!

This week, we’re bringing the action with jersey recognition, fresh new price levels for sports events, and a sleek gallery-sharing upgrade that makes your links pop.

Let’s dive in! 💦

🧢 Introducing: JerseyJotter™

Your new MVP for sports galleries has arrived!

JerseyJotter™ automatically adds searchable filters to the All Images gallery for SportsPics Events:

  • 🎽 Color Recognition – identifies the primary shirt/jersey color worn in the photo.
  • 🔢 Number Recognition – picks up numbers from jerseys or racing bibs

You can toggle:

  • ✅ Both on
  • ✅ Only one
  • ✅ Or turn them both off

✅ Color & Number Recognition will work for both Positive ID and Face Matching Events (as long as the All Images Gallery is turned on)


🔍 Customers can filter using either filter independently, or both filters at once!

It’s your new best friend for organizing crowded team galleries!

💸 New SportsPics (Action) Price Levels + Offer Template

We’ve added new price levels and a recommended offer template for action-packed sports coverage. These are designed to complement JerseyJotter™ and better suit high-volume, high-energy photo galleries.

Perfect for:

  • 🏃‍♂️ Race day events
  • 🏈 Game-day action
  • 🏀 Sideline candids

If you’re used to SportsPics Portrait pricing, give this new setup a look—it might be a better fit for your action photgraphy Events!

🔗 Gallery Sharing Just Got an Upgrade

Now when you share your NowCandid Gallery Links via:

  • 📱 iMessage
  • 💬 Discord
  • ✉️ Other messaging platforms

They’ll automatically preview using your Event’s retail cover photo (if one’s set) — or fall back to the first image in the gallery, now complete with copyright-watermarking.

📸 Cleaner. Sharper. Way more pro.

🔍 Dashboard Search Boost

  • Hit Control + K (or find it in the Extras dropdown) to search Orders and Events
  • Because finding stuff fast should feel like magic 🪄

✨ Tiny Changes & Bug Splatting

  • 🧵 View Sequence logic now uses image names for better chronological accuracy
  • 🪲 Smashed a bajillion bugs (yes, bajillion is a real number)
    • Including quirks with email marketing
    • And rare background removal issues in relation to group photos & group products

That’s it for this week! If you're capturing athletes, races, or energetic action shots, this update was made just for you. 💪

Until next time,


📣 Candy

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!

Hello, my team-spirited photographers! 🎅

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.

Key Highlights:

  • Organized Group Photos:

    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!
  • Ideal for Leagues & Tournaments:

    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. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 8, as we continue this holiday journey through the year’s biggest features. And remember, something extra special is coming 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
