Hey photo friends! 👋
This week’s updates bring a mix of AI editing power, cleaner review tools, and a small boost to retail conversion clarity—plus a helpful Android Capture App fix.

Let’s jump in. 💫

‍

🧠 Auto Editor (BETA)— AI Edit an Entire Event or Folder

We’re rolling out an Auto Editor (Beta) that can automatically AI-edit:

• All images in an event, or
• All images in a specific folder

Auto Editor is powered by Candy Image Studio (same nodes, same pricing), and edited images keep their existing matches—just like when you run Candy Image Studio on an event image.

Important notes:

• You are billed per image edit.
• This is a BETA feature—we recommend testing on yourself (or doing one-offs in Candy Image Studio) before relying on it for a real event.
• Auto Editor can run up to 60 days after the event start date, similar to other event workflows.

Common use cases

• Light face retouching
• Fix subject lighting
• Reduce glare on glasses
• Remove alcohol
• Add green screens

Fun use cases

• Automatic glamour looks
• Anime style
• Chibi style
• Anything you can build with a custom text node

Where to find it

• On an Event page in the Dashboard sidebar, near JerseyJotter and Candy Culler
• The folder selector will show whether you’re running an Event Edit or a Folder Edit
• The Event List will show an Auto Editor attribute for events that used it (and includes an Auto Editor filter)
• EMP also shows the Auto Editor attribute on its event list page

🎨 Candy Image Editor + Manage Images Improvements

A few upgrades landed that make AI editing and review smoother:

• New node: Alcohol Remover is now available in Candy Image Editor.
• Replace uploaded images more easily (non-event images): you can drag a new image onto the one you already uploaded to replace it, instead of starting over.
• New “Preview Original” option on Manage Images lightbox for AI-edited images uploaded from Candy Image Studio
  • You can also toggle this view using \.
• Manage Images search is faster (image searching performance improved).

📣 Client Outreach: URL No Longer Required for Texts

Client Outreach texts no longer require a URL, but the system will show a warning if you try to send one without a link.

One important reminder: the number Client Outreach texts send from is different than the number used for automated event marketing—so recipients may not have any message history for context when they receive it.

‍

🏷️ PhotoTags Page: Clearer Counts

The Event PhotoTags page now shows Contacts and Participants as separate columns for better clarity.

‍

🛍️ Retail: Pay Later Badges (more visible financing options)

Retail now shows Apple Pay Later and PayPal Pay Later badges on the store sheet for items $30 or more.

A few notes:

• • Pay Later options have always been available—this change just makes them more obvious to customers.
• • This UI may be temporary and could be removed at any time.

Reminders on existing Pay Later availability:

• Klarna & Affirm are available through Apple Pay for orders $35+
• Some credit cards offer Pay Later through Apple Pay (eligibility varies)
• Klarna, Affirm, and Zip are available through Google Pay for orders $35+
• PayPal Pay Later (Pay in 4) is available for $30+
• PayPal Pay Later (Pay Monthly) is available for $49+

🤖 Android Capture App 5.5: Duplicate Image Fix

The Capture App on Android (v5.5, Google Play) now fixes an issue where some cameras were sending duplicate images to the app.

That’s the week! 💫

Between the new Auto Editor (Beta), smoother “preview original” review flows, and clearer Pay Later messaging on retail, this update is all about saving time and helping customers convert with less friction.

Keep creating magic,
— The NowCandid Team 🍬
