Weekly Recap: New 24×8 Panoramic Print, and More! 🖼️🧾

Hey photo friends! 👋
This week is a mix of one new product and a handful of refinements across retail pricing, check-in validation, and Dashboard tools.
Here’s what changed.
🆕 New Product
🖼️ 24×8 Panoramic Print (Group-only)
- A new panoramic option in the same aspect ratio as the other pano prints, built for team and group shots. (Like the others, it’s group-only.)
🛍️ Retail: Pricing & Editing Improvements
💸 Package “slashed” pricing corrected and standardized
- Fixes around week 2/3 slash amounts so package comparisons are more accurate and consistent (including cases where tiered pricing is disabled on Quic events).
✍️ Captions editor now allows hyphens and periods
- Small change, big relief for subjects with multi-hyphenate names.
✅ Check-In Page: Better Email Validation
📧 Improved email validation
- Now also requires at least one period
- Now blocks obvious typos like addresses ending in “.con”
- These are in addition to previously existing "catches" we had in place to help customers avoid typos
👥 Additional Contacts now use the same validation rules
- Makes additional contact info more typo-proof too!
🖥️ Dashboard: Fewer Snags, More Visibility
🧪 Image Tester now supports PNG files
- Helpful for validating cutouts and art files.
📏 Improved DPI validation for artwork uploads (and Image Tester)
- Better handling for images that don’t explicitly include DPI metadata.
📦 Package editor expanded limits
- You can now include up to 16 4×6 and 5×7 prints in a package
- (Digital downloads remain capped at 16; most other items remain capped at 8).
📁 Manage Images: Folder Download fixed for large folders
- Folders over 100 images now reliably download in multiple ZIPs (no more stopping after the first chunk).
🧾 Order Details page got a big clarity upgrade
You can now see key indicators and selections more directly, including:
- ✨ product finish/overlay indicators
- 🖼️ backgrounds / AI background indicators (where applicable)
- 📝 captions and chosen colors
- ⬇️ background downloads working correctly again
🍬 Candy Culler Improvements
📊 Results update automatically while culling runs
- As progress changes, search results refresh so culled images can appear without you manually refreshing.
🗂️ New downloadable folder report
- Quick export alongside the toggle for easier review/sharing.
💬 Misc
📲 Day 0 SMS link placement updated
- The retail link now appears after the unsubscribe text to encourage better MMS link previews.
That’s the week!
Another new pano option, tighter retail pricing presentation, cleaner check-ins, and a more informative Dashboard where it counts.
