Weekly Recap: Positive ID Improvements, New Product & Capture App Upgrades 🎓📱
Hey photo friends!

We’ve got a bunch of tidy little upgrades this week—making rosters cleaner, products better, and the Capture App easier to use on busy Positive ID shoots. Here’s what’s new:

📋 Dashboard Improvements

👥 Extra Contacts on Positive ID Rosters: Now supported, just like with PhotoRosters

🏷️ Auto-create PhotoTags: Uploading a Positive ID Roster with new tags? They can now be created automatically in the Event at the same time

📜 Image Details history: Now shows manual unassignments for better tracking

🛍️ Retail Site Updates

🎓 Graduation Plaque: Text now renders live on the retail site

🎓 Graduation Tassel Frame: Text now renders live on the retail site, and features a gold gradient text instead of plain white, and has a new matching stock example

🖼️ New Print Products: 10×18 Print and 10×18 Group Photo now available in the Custom Offer Creator & Editor

📱 Capture App 4.20.3 (iOS)

🔠 Alphabetical PhotoTags: Tags are now sorted A–Z

📌 Persistent PhotoTag filter: Name Lookup will keep your selected filter until you change it or remove it—great for shooting one team at a time

💻 New iPad UI for Name Lookup: Multiple sortable columns + participant image counts in green (easy to see who’s been photographed already)

Better performance: Faster Name Lookup when working with large rosters

📷 Camera support: Sony 7RM3A now supported

🔄 Auto-rotation fixes for vertical images with CamFi & Canon Wireless

📡 Canon Wireless connections working again with the Capture App

🛠️ Small but Mighty Fixes

🏷️ Retail shipping & billing default now set to “Select” instead of "Alabama"

📑 Updated templates for PhotoRoster/Positive ID Roster spreadsheets

📂 CSV roster uploads now supported (not just Excel files)

🔍 Ctrl+F search now works on the Web Dashboard's Blog page

📏 Better DPI conversions in uploader & image details for cm → inches situations

👤 Positive ID Roster fixes for a bug that caused some images to assign to additional Participants

🖼️ Retail Groups tab cutouts now display properly as JPEGs when originals are hidden on the retail site

That’s a wrap for this week! 💫

From cleaner rosters to new products, these changes should make your workflow smoother and your galleries better.

Keep being amazing,

Candy 🍬

 minutes read

New features you'll find in the app:

  • Supports several new Nikon and Canon models that the previous NOW Candid app did not
  • Customizable App Passcode - ensures you are uploading directly to events in your account & is protected from other user's image uploads
  • New modern design for ease of use
  • More event information now available right from the tablet when logged in
  • Choose between dark or light mode (dark mode looks pretty slick! Try it out!)
  • Added button in settings that instantly pulls up the image hot folder
  • Easier installation and less issues with Window Defender
  • Smarter log out protocols (warnings if all images have not been uploaded)
  • "Upload from SD card" to manually add all images from an SD card to an event.
  • Useful if a camera was not connected to a tablet when images were shot, this provides another way to manually upload
  • OR if you had a second photographer on site without a tablet, they could upload their images through a tablet/laptop before leaving the event

How to uninstall the previous version of the app:

If you have previous versions of the Party Pics® Now app or Now Candid app installed on your device, you will want to uninstall them. Make sure all data and images from any previous events have been transferred prior to uninstalling.

1. Navigate to "Add or remove programs"

2. Search for NowCandid to uninstall

    a. This can be done for "Party Pics Now" or SNAP as well

How to install the new version of the NowCandid app:

You can install the new app by going directly to the Microsoft App Store using this direct link: www.microsoft.com/store/apps. Alternatively,  you can find a link to the store on NowCandid.com/download (must be logged into account to access this page).

How to find your App Passcode to log in on the new tablet:

1. Log in to your account on NowCandid.com

2. Click on App Settings

3. Find or change your App Passcode

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
