Weekly Recap: Better PhotoTag Controls & Roster Improvements 📸✨

Weekly Recap: Better PhotoTag Controls & Roster Improvements 📸✨
Hey photo friends! 👋

‍

Candy here with another weekly recap! This week brings some especially useful workflow upgrades, including better PhotoTag management in Manage Images, larger virtual group limits, and several improvements for large rosters and PhotoRosters.

‍

Let’s jump in!

‍

🏷️ Better PhotoTag Management in Manage Images

‍

You could already select multiple images and add a PhotoTag. Now you can clean them up just as easily.

‍

➖ New Remove PhotoTags option

  • Select multiple images in Manage Images and use the new Remove PhotoTags button to remove PhotoTags from the selection.

‍

🧹 Duplicate PhotoTag assignment fix

  • Fixed an issue where Edit Folder could assign the same PhotoTag to the same image multiple times.

‍

👥 Move PhotoTagged Group Photos to the Top

‍

There’s also a new Advanced Offer setting:

‍

PhotoTagged Group to Top of Gallery

‍

When enabled, PhotoTagged Group Photos will appear at the top of Personal Galleries instead of the bottom.

‍

We generally recommend leaving this off, but it can be useful for Events where Personal Galleries contain a very large number of individual images and you want important Group Photos to be easier to find.

‍

📥 Multi-Select Download Change

‍

Downloads started through the Selected Images sheet in Manage Images will now automatically retry if an individual download stalls.

‍

This should be helpful when working on slower or congested networks where one image hanging could otherwise interrupt a larger download.

‍

📋 Roster & PhotoRoster Improvements

‍

Several fixes this week make roster workflows more reliable:

‍

👥 Large roster uploads fixed

  • Fixed uploads for customers with more than 1,000 people in their spreadsheet.

‍

✉️ Malformed email handling improved

  • Fixed an edge case where an email containing a ? instead of an @ could stop the upload process partway through the roster.

‍

🔢 PhotoRoster Event counts fixed

  • Fixed cases where the number of Events associated with a PhotoRoster could display incorrectly.

‍

⚠️ Better PhotoRoster export errors

  • Exporting a PhotoRoster directly from an Event page now provides the same detailed error reporting you’d receive when exporting from the PhotoRoster page itself.

‍

🎨 Candy Image Studio Fix

‍

🔁 More reliable “Try Again” edits

  • Fixed an edge case where editing an Event image during a Try Again sequence could accidentally generate an entirely new image instead of using the existing edit as its starting point.

‍

🖼️ Participant Download Fix

‍

✨ Overlay downloads fixed for faux renders

  • Fixed Download with Overlay not working correctly for faux renders — cutouts displayed with an Event background.

‍

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Virtual Groups

‍

If you create a lot of Virtual Groups for an Event, and need to download them for some reason - this will save you some time!

‍

📥 New Download All button

  • The Virtual Group List page can now automatically render and download all Virtual Groups for an Event instead of making you process them one at a time.

‍

👥 Up to 200 subjects per Virtual Group

  • The maximum subject limit in Virtual Group Builder has been increased to 200.

‍

That’s the week!

‍

Relatively light changes this week (compared to our usual weekly recaps at least) as we work on some important things behind the scenes!

‍

Keep creating magic,

Candy 🍬

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!

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!

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: PhotoTags for Sports.

__wf_reserved_inherit

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:

    PhotoTags 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, PhotoTags 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!

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
