Hey photo friends!

‍

This week’s updates are focused on clarity, quality, and efficiency—from sharper image previews across the board to a brand-new Face Matching Workflow, Roster Check-In.

‍

Let’s take a look! 👀

‍

🏅 New Workflow: Roster Check-In™

‍

Made for sports and other rostered shoots when you want Face Matching™ + a roster in one workflow.

‍

‍How it works:

‍

1. Upload a roster to the Event (via the Dashboard, under your Event's Participants & Contacts page)

2. In the Capture & Upload app, log into your Event and choose Roster Check-In™ as your shooting mode

3. Pick a name from the roster (or add one via Type & Take)

4. Take a quick reference photo (using the device's camera or a tethered camera)

‍

Done! Future image uploads, from the Capture & Upload app or from the Dashboard, will automatically match to that person and market them their new gallery.

‍

Note: Requires Capture & Upload App 4.20.10

‍

📋 Dashboard

‍

• 🏷️ PhotoTags on Tap-A-Face: You can now set PhotoTags when creating a participant via the manual Tap-A-Face available on the Image Details page
  ‍
• 🖼️ Higher-resolution images across key pages, including:
  • Manual Assign Images page
  • Image Release Gallery
    ‍
• 🎨 Overlay importer now shows full-frame previews (previously only banners)

‍

🛍️ Retail Site

  ‍

‍

🔒 Private Image Download Galleries

‍

• 🖼️ Higher-res image previews for a sharper, more polished experience

‍

📱 iOS Capture App 4.20.10 (coming Oct 10–13)

‍

• 👥 New Workflow: Roster Check-In™ — streamline your workflow by checking in subjects directly using a roster and the Capture & Upload App
  ‍
• 💬 UI updates:
  • Most error popups replaced with native dialogs for cleaner alerts
  • Login popup stays open on invalid login (no more accidental closures)
    ‍
• ⚡ Performance boosts everywhere:
  • Less memory usage for uploads
  • Faster image details popups and Name Lookup lists
  • Better performance for image previews across the shooting page, film strip, image gallery, and FM Roster Check-In

‍

🧩 Smaller Fixes & Improvements

‍

• 📸 Faster image loading:
  • Participant list and event overview now use smaller thumbnails
  • PhotoRoster™ Selfie Check-In™ imports now load quicker
    ‍
• 🗂️ BGR folder fixes: Group status button behavior corrected for edit folder popups
  ‍
• 📍 Tap locations on Image Details page now align correctly
  ‍
• 🖼️ Higher-res thumbnails on Manage Images (even in the smaller grid view)
  ‍
• 💌 Email-only participants now receive new image alerts after placing an order
  ‍
• 🧠 Watermark improvement: Retail site static watermarking now shows the word “Copyright” instead of your business name — this helps prevent AI tools from removing it as platforms are adding copyright-protection safeguards

‍

That’s everything for this week! 💫

‍

From sharper previews to smarter check-ins, these updates make every step of your workflow a little smoother (and crisper!).

‍

Keep being amazing,
