Hello, my fabulous photographers!

‍

Candy here, ready to sprinkle some sparkle on your day with our latest Weekly Recap.

‍

We’ve been busy refining your NowCandid™ experience, and this week’s update is a solid mix of practical tweaks and new features—all designed to make your events run even smoother. Let’s dive in!

‍

1. Check-In Info Saves to Account 📝

‍

We know every second counts during an event. Now, when subjects perform a Selfie Check-In™ while logged into quic.pics, their check-in info is automatically saved to their account for future events.

‍

Streamlined Check-In:

• Reuse saved check-in details for faster access at subsequent events.
‍
• Speeds up the process and reduces repetitive data entry.
‍
• Works for both Selfie Check-In™ as well as Positive ID™ Check-In.

‍

*Expedited Selfie Check-In*™ *for your regular subjects, woo!*

‍

2. QuicPics™ Text Character Increase 📲

‍

Our marketing messages just got a boost! You now have more characters available when customizing the “Your images are arriving soon” text for QuicPics™ events.

‍

More Room to Create:

• Tailor your messaging with extra characters for a more personalized touch.
‍
• Future tweaks may come, but for now, enjoy the expanded flexibility!

‍

*Previously capped at 100 characters, you'll have a bit more wiggle room going forward!*

‍

3. QuicPortraits™ Pricing Now at 10¢ per Image 💰

‍

Good news for portrait photographers who get paid upfront! We’ve adjusted the QuicPortraits™ pricing down to 10¢ per image from 12¢. This change is designed to help you offer headshots and individual portraits at a lower rate.

‍

Cost-Saving for Portraits:

• QuicPortraits™ is aimed specifically at headshots and portraits where only one person receives the images.
‍
• Expect further tweaks to QuicPortraits in the future, but the cost-saving is here to stay!

‍

*QuicPortraits*™ *is now 10 cents, down from 12!*

‍

4. GroupTags™ Enhancements 🏷️

‍

We’ve made it easier than ever to manage group photos and individual shots with GroupTags™.

‍

Import GroupTags:

• Upload a spreadsheet to auto-create as many GroupTags™ as you need—perfect for events with many teams or groups.

‍

GroupTagging Individuals:

• Now you can assign GroupTags™ even to Individual Photos, not just Group Photos.
‍
• This change gives you more flexibility when organizing the Groups of images your customers can filter by on the retail site. Possibly helpful for some action photographers!

‍

*GroupTags™ are now no longer limited to only Group Photos!*

‍

5. Miscellaneous Updates 🔧

‍

A few extra tweaks to enhance overall performance and clarity:

‍

Shortened Marketing Links:

• All links in marketing texts are now shortened without compromising URL security.

‍

Informative Color Profile Errors:

• When an image is uploaded with the wrong color profile, the error now specifies which color profile the image has, instead of just saying “wrong color profile.”

‍

That’s this week’s recap, folks!

‍

These updates are all about making your workflow more efficient—from saving check-in info and giving you more flexible text options to reducing costs on QuicPortraits™ and enhancing GroupTags™.

‍

We’re continuously improving our system to help you manage your events seamlessly and boost your sales.

‍

As always, we love hearing your feedback—let us know what you think!

‍

Cheers and sparkles,

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 9 – Image Timeline Report & Unique Faces Count 🎄📊

minutes read

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!

📸 Candy’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 8 – Full Frame Overlays & Custom Backgrounds 🌟🎨

minutes read

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!

minutes read

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!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

‍

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.
