Learn How NowCandid Can Help You Remarket Your Pre-NowCandid Images🌟

Learn How NowCandid Can Help You Remarket Your Pre-NowCandid Images🌟

For those who are new to NowCandid, let me tell you that NowCandid does a lot to help you continue to make sales on the images that you put through our system!

‍

Things such as:

‍

  • Long-Term Hosting: We keep galleries online for at least 15 years.
    ‍
  • Ongoing Marketing: Annual Event reminders & occasional consolidated Event marketing.
    ‍
  • Sales Reinforcement: "Order More" QR codes on print products to encourage reorders.

‍

So, if you're using NowCandid for your current and future Events, those Events are all set to generate plenty of residual sales as the years go by!

‍

However, did you know that NowCandid can be used to easily remarket images from your past, pre-NowCandid Events?

‍

As a photographer, you have probably used other software and sales solutions in the past. That's okay! NowCandid is not a jealous business partner, and we are just happy you're here for us to help you now.

‍

So let's talk about how we can help you get more sales out of those past Events of yours.

‍

The Power of Remarketing πŸ”„

‍

First off, let me say that this will only work in situations where you have:

‍

  • Pictures of Individuals: Such as headshots or portraits.
    ‍
  • Corresponding Contact Information: You need to know which contact info goes with which image files.

‍

If you have past Events with those two things readily available, then you can use our oft overlooked FaceMatch Import Workflow to create what we often call a FaceGroup in your NowCandid Dashboard.

‍

You can then use that FaceGroup (pictures of individuals corresponding to an uploaded set of contact information) in any of your NowCandid Events!

‍

Meaning... you could create a NowCandid Event, utilize a FaceGroup of some school picture headshots you did, and then upload to that Event that class's graduation pictures, school pictures, dance pictures, or anything else you'd like to remarket!

‍

Once the "reference images" from your FaceGroup are in the Event as well as your past images of that same group of people - the images will match up using our Face Matching processes and begin a marketing campaign and sales effort that will help you generate some sales on those old images right now, as well as occasional residual sales over the years and years to come.

‍

Your Portfolio, Forever Profitable πŸ’Ό

‍

As an example, a new NowCandid user performed the exact processes we described above to "remarket" graduation pictures from 4 of the graduations they photographed last year.

‍

Within a month of remarketing those 2023 images, this user generated about $1300 in sales and shipping!

‍

That $1300 will be in addition to the sales they will be able to make as the years go by, thanks to the residual sales tactics we mentioned earlier.

‍

Unlocking New Sales with Old Memories πŸ”‘

‍

So, if you dear reader are in a position to utilize some of the portraits and contact info you've collected in the past, consider using NowCandid to remarket them! Doesn't matter if they're 1, 3, 5, or even 10+ years old.

‍

NowCandid does not charge you any subscription or hosting fees, so even if you were to make $0 in sales, it won't cost you a thing.

‍

We only make money when you do, and we only want to help you earn more and work less!

Weekly Recap: Android Capture App Launch, PhotoTag Downloads & Upload Improvements πŸ“ΈπŸ¬

Hey photo friends! πŸ‘‹

‍

This week’s updates include something many of you have been waiting for: the first public release of the Capture App on Android. Alongside that launch, we’ve also improved PhotoRoster workflows, tightened up retail safeguards, and rolled out several capture app fixes across platforms.

‍

Let’s take a look.

‍

πŸ€– Capture App Now Available on Android (Beta)

‍

The first Android version of the Capture App (v5.0.1) is now available on Google Play.

‍

IMPORTANT:Β This is very new! So it's in BETAΒ at the moment. Meaning, if you want to use Android, we encourage you to try a test Event at your home or office and make sure your flow works with your particular equipment! If you run into any issues, let us know right away!

‍

This release brings feature parity with the iOS app (with the exception of Photo Booth Mode and AirPrint, which currently are not planned for Android):

‍

πŸ“· Supports all of our capture workflows
‍

⚑ Same improved upload system introduced in iOS v5
‍

πŸ” Camera-triggered auto-launch support
‍

🎨 Android themed icon support
‍

πŸ“± Edge-to-edge Android UI support

‍

If you’ve been wanting to run Capture on Android devices, the foundation is now here!

‍

Screenshots from our new Android Capture &Β Upload App!

‍

πŸ“± Capture App Improvements

‍

iOS – Version 5.0.1 (OTA)

‍

A few fixes and small usability improvements landed this week:

‍

πŸ”Ž Participant not found message when scanning cards‍

  • Instead of defaulting to the first participant, the app now clearly shows when a scan doesn’t match anyone.

‍

πŸ“Š Image gallery stats now update correctly during uploads.

‍

πŸ“‚ TKO popup now dismisses properly when setting a folder as TKO.

‍

πŸ–₯ Windows Capture App – Version 4.21

‍

⚑ New image upload API improves upload speed and reduces device resource usage
‍

πŸ“‘ Better behavior when signing into events with no connectivity
‍

πŸ“‚ Event selector now shows only active events when offline, matching iOS behavior

‍

🏷️ Workflow Improvements

‍

πŸ“₯ Download PhotoTags directly from the PhotoTags page‍

  • This makes it simple to reuse or share tags between events.

‍

πŸ“‚ PhotoRoster uploads increased‍

  • Individual image uploads now support up to 5,000 images at once (previously 1,000).

‍

🎨 Candy Image Studio Reliability Fix

‍

Candy Image Studio uploads now behave more consistently.

‍

Edited images will now reliably appear in all the same places as the original image, including:

‍

  • All galleries
    ‍
  • QuicPics texts
    ‍
  • Personal galleries

‍

Previously, images only appeared if they happened to match faces or were manually assigned.

‍

πŸ›οΈ Retail Improvements

‍

A couple improvements help prevent confusing edge cases for customers:

‍

πŸ‘₯ Group products now properly enforce group images‍

  • If someone tries selecting a non-group image for a group product, they’ll now see a clear error message.

‍

🌍 New international shipping notice‍

  • For non-US shipping addresses, customers now see a helpful reminder that customs or import fees may be charged by their country in addition to international shipping fees.

‍

πŸ–₯️ Dashboard Improvements

‍

Some smaller UI improvements landed this week:

‍

✨ Toggle switches now animate smoothly instead of appearing choppy.

‍

That’s the week!

‍

The Android Capture App launch is a big step toward expanding device flexibility, and the PhotoTag downloads and PhotoRoster improvements should make event setup a little easier as well.

‍

Hey photo friends! πŸ‘‹

‍

This week’s update is a big one. The new Capture App v5 for iOS has officially landed with major performance improvements, a refreshed UI, and some helpful workflow upgrades.

‍

On top of that, Candy Culler just got significantly faster, retail got a couple new themes, and several tools across the Dashboard have been refined.

‍

Let’s jump in.

‍

πŸ“± Capture App v5 (iOS) β€” Major Upgrade

‍

Capture App Version 5 brings a full UI refresh, major performance improvements, and several new quality-of-life tools for shooting events.

‍

⚑ v5: Faster Uploads & Better Performance

‍

A brand-new upload system significantly improves efficiency:

  • πŸ“€ Uploads can be up to ~20–30% faster
    ‍
  • πŸ“¦ Payload size reduced by ~25% thanks to image transfer improvements
    ‍
  • πŸ”‹ Lower CPU, battery, and memory usage during uploads
    ‍
  • πŸ“· Much better memory usage with tethered cameras
    ‍
  • 🧠 Improved overall memory performance across the app

‍

These improvements should make long shooting sessions feel noticeably smoother.

‍

πŸ–ΌοΈ v5: New Image Gallery & Filters

‍

The in-app gallery has been redesigned with better filtering and navigation:

  • Image name search
    ‍
  • Uploaded / Unuploaded status
    ‍
  • Roll filtering
    ‍
  • Event filtering

‍

Filters are easy to remove with a single tap, similar to the Dashboard experience.

‍

πŸ” v5: Duplicate Photo Warning

‍

The Capture App can now warn you about duplicate images during a shoot:

  • Works only within the current session
    ‍
  • Does not upload or save duplicate data
    ‍
  • Can be disabled from the Resources page if desired

‍

This works independently from the Dashboard’s Candy Culler duplicate detection, giving you duplicate awareness both during capture and afterward.

‍

🧰 v5: New Event Overview Info

‍

The event overview page now includes helpful connection details:

  • πŸ“‘ Carrier name
    ‍
  • πŸ“Ά Cellular generation (if available)
    ‍
  • πŸ“Ά Current Wi-Fi network

‍

This can help troubleshoot upload issues while shooting events.

‍

🎨 v5: Photo Booth Background Packs

‍

Photo Booth now supports downloadable background packs:

  • πŸŽ„ Christmas
    ‍
  • πŸŽƒ Halloween
    ‍
  • More to come!

‍

The default pack is now a downloadable set as well, which keeps the main app much smaller and makes OTA updates faster.

‍

πŸ”§ v5: Additional Capture App Improvements

‍

🌍 International phone numbers supported in Positive ID (were already supported in Tap-A-Face)
‍

🧍 Full vertical images now fit on iPhone screens
‍

πŸ”„ Update checks run automatically when refreshing events
‍

πŸ“§ Tap-a-Face email validation now matches Check-In pages
‍

πŸ”„ Upload status updates immediately after each upload
‍

πŸ“² Tablets can now use portrait orientation throughout the app

‍

✨ v5: Complete UI Refresh

‍

Version 5 introduces a polished new interface:

  • Modern sheet-based UI
    ‍
  • Improved dark mode styling
    ‍
  • Larger login and event selection screens
    ‍
  • Updated phone number input interface
    ‍
  • New image details sheet
    ‍
  • Cleaner image gallery layout

‍

New popup styling!

‍

Vertical orientation for iPad! Yay!

‍

Overall, the app feels faster, cleaner, and more modern.

‍

🧠 Candy Culler: Now 5Γ— Faster

‍

Candy Culler processing has been dramatically upgraded.

‍

⚑ Up to 5Γ— more images can now be processed at once, bringing it in line with Jersey Jotter throughput.

‍

This means faster detection for:

  • Duplicates
    ‍
  • Blurry photos
    ‍
  • Exposure issues
    ‍
  • Closed eyes
    ‍
  • Other culling checks

‍

🍬 Candy Improvements

‍

Candy continues getting faster and smarter:

  • ⚑ Faster Candy responses
    ‍
  • πŸ”Ž Faster Candy Navigation results
    ‍
  • 🧠 Improved event search for newly created events
    ‍
  • πŸŽ›οΈ Refreshed Mini Candy UI

‍

Pro tip: Press CMD + A / CTRL + A to toggle Mini Candy.

‍

🧾 Dashboard Improvements

‍

Several useful refinements were made to the Dashboard:

  • πŸ“Š Fixed Faces Report chart showing empty data
    ‍
  • 🧾 QR Code generator downloads now export at 1024px
    ‍
  • πŸ“‘ Scan card PDFs now sort duplicate participants exactly like the Capture App
    ‍
  • 🎨 Offer editor popups for adding products and packages are now wider with product category tabs
    ‍
  • πŸ“Š Event order list diamond-press counts now include quantities correctly
    ‍
  • 🧭 QR Creator and Image Tester now appear in Sidebar Find

‍

🎨 New Retail Themes

‍

Candy's Note: We hope you enjoy the pupper pics!

‍

🍡 Matcha Theme – a clean green storefront (great for spring or St. Patrick’s Day)

‍

‍

🍠 Ube Theme – a bold purple theme

‍

‍

Bonus:Β Retail UI styling also received improvements for tabs, checkboxes, and order tracking.

‍

πŸ“³ Haptics for Mobile Retail & Check-In

‍

Mobile users will now feel subtle feedback interactions when using the site:

  • Tap feedback
    ‍
  • Success feedback (add to cart, order placed)
    ‍
  • Error feedback

‍

This makes mobile ordering and check-in feel much more responsive, alive, and engaging!

‍

🀳 Selfie Check-In Improvements

‍

The Selfie Check-In site received improvements to the local face recognition model, making it more reliable and stable on more devices.

‍

πŸ’° QuicPics Adjustment

‍

Good news for high-volume QuicPics users:

‍

Selfie Check-Ins and PhotoRoster reference images no longer count as billable images.

‍

That means QuicPics events that use those workflows will be slightly cheaper overall.

‍

πŸ“₯ Easier Downloads on iPhone

‍

On iOS Chrome: Press-and-hold image downloads now open the iOS Share menu, making it much easier to save images. (iOSΒ Safari already supported this behavior.)

‍

🌐 New QuicPics Landing Page

‍

The Quic.Pics site now has a proper landing page instead of only a login screen in case end customers stumble across it somehow.

‍

Hopefully this helps it seem more legit while still remaining relatively white-label for your photographers out there!

‍

You can see it here: https://www.quic.pics

‍

That’s the week!

‍

Capture App v5 is a big upgrade, and combined with the faster Candy Culler and several Dashboard improvements, the entire workflow from capture β†’ cull β†’ sell just got smoother.

Hey photo friends! πŸ‘‹

‍

This week is packed with tools you’ll probably use right away: big upgrades to Candy Image Studio, a brand-new Participant Search across all events, and a fun but practical QR Creator.

‍

Let’s dive in.

‍

🎨 Candy Image Studio: More Control, More Power

‍

We’ve made some meaningful upgrades to Candy Image Studio:

‍

πŸ‘οΈ Choose whether to mark the original image invisible‍

  • Previously, edits always hid the original. Now it’s your call.

‍

πŸ—‚οΈ Multiple edits can coexist‍

  • Uploading multiple AI edits of the same image no longer overwrites previous ones.

‍

🧠 New safety agent‍

  • Automatically checks for edits involving race/ethnicity/skin tone changes or nudity to keep things appropriate.

‍

πŸ–ΌοΈ Generate 2K or 4K outputs‍

  • 4K is recommended for images with text.

‍

⚑ Image Lightbox Integration‍

  • Click β€œCandy Image Studio” directly from an image lightbox to preload it into the Studio.
  • You can optionally mark the original invisible, and it keeps all participant associations intact for the new image (just like cutouts).

‍

If you haven't checked out the AI editor, give it a try!

‍

πŸ”Ž New: Participant Search Across All Events

‍

You can now search participants across your entire account:

‍

  • Search by name or contact info
  • Access via Tools & More, Sidebar Search bar, or "/participants" directly in the URL
  • Supports Candy navigation

‍

Huge time-saver when you can’t remember or don't know which event someone was in.

‍

Click here to jump to the Tools & More page

‍

πŸ”³ New Tool: QR Creator

‍

Found under Tools & More, the new QR Creator lets you:

‍

  • Paste in any link (event, check-in, retail, etc.)
  • Customize shape and colors
  • Generate something nicer than a plain black-and-white square
  • Download the new, cuter QR code!

‍

Simple, but useful for signage, flyers, and booths.

‍

‍

πŸ“± Mobile Dashboard Improvements

‍

πŸ”„ Swipe down to refresh any page (no app update needed, just refresh)

‍

↔️ Swipe left/right in image lightboxes to move between images (desktop users already have arrow keys)

‍

🍬 Overall improved Candy experience on mobile

‍

πŸ–₯️ Dashboard Improvements

‍

πŸ“‚ PhotoRoster upload limit increased to 10,000 members

‍

🏷️ PhotoTag assignment via Edit Folder fixed (won’t remove all tags unless you choose β€œNone”)

‍

πŸ‘€ Create Participant button re-enabled (shows warning if event is older than 60 days; roster import still disabled for older events)

‍

⚑ Faster event list search for accounts with many events

‍

πŸ–ΌοΈ Event cover photo now visually anchors the Event Details & Tags pages

‍

🧾 Fixed overlay import not working properly

‍

πŸ”” Fixed toast notifications appearing behind popups

‍

🌾 Candy Culler Duplicate detection improvement‍

  • When using β€œDuplicates Only” in Candy Culler, duplicates now appear side-by-side for easier reviewing.

‍

πŸ›οΈ Retail Improvements

‍

πŸ“„ Fixed pagination buttons requiring page jump to function

‍

🏈 Improved Jersey Jotter search speed/performance

‍

πŸŒ€ LiveLoop Fixes

‍

πŸ› οΈ Fixed certain events stopping after running for awhile

‍

πŸ“’ Fixed not being able to upload advertisements

‍

πŸ’Έ Shipping Update

‍

πŸ“¦ 5Γ—7 Statuette shipping cost reduced thanks to a new shipping method for that product‍

  • From $7.25 β†’ $3.25 (about 55% lower)

‍

That’s the week!

‍

Bigger AI editing control, faster participant lookup, custom QR codes, and a lighter shipping cost on 5Γ—7 Statuettes.

‍

Keep creating magic,

Candy 🍬

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.
