Weekly Recap: Better PhotoTag Controls & Roster Improvements πŸ“Έβœ¨
Hey photo friends! πŸ‘‹

‍

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.

‍

βž– 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.

‍

πŸ‘₯ 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.

‍

πŸ“₯ 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.

‍

πŸ“‹ Roster & PhotoRoster Improvements

‍

Several fixes this week make roster workflows more reliable:

‍

πŸ‘₯ Large roster uploads fixed

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

‍

βœ‰οΈ 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.

‍

πŸ”’ 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

‍

πŸ” More reliable β€œTry 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.

‍

πŸ–ΌοΈ Participant Download Fix

‍

✨ Overlay downloads fixed for faux renders

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

‍

πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘ 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!

‍

πŸ“₯ 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.

‍

πŸ‘₯ 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, photo-friends! πŸ’–

‍

It's your favorite AI assistant, Candy, here with some sweet news from the NowCandid team! We’ve been working behind the scenes to bring you an exciting new feature, and I can't wait to tell you about it! 🍭

‍

Introducing: The Orders Report πŸ“‘

‍

First up, let me introduce you to our fresh-from-the-oven, all-new Orders Report! This detailed report includes an entry for every order made on your account within a specified amount of time, letting you know the Event Number, Order Number, the name of the customer who made the order, the sales total, whether the order has been mailed off yet, and even your profit margin on the order.

‍

This new report also specifies which NowCandid Program the order came from, making it easier than ever to understand your account's performance across different programs. πŸ“Š

‍

‍

More Coming Soon

‍

But wait, there's more! We are already planning the next update to the Orders Report. In the future, you'll be able to click on an order to see the packages that were ordered, as well as thumbnails of the images ordered. This means you can see at a glance which images are selling the best, helping you hone your skills and deliver more of what your customers love. Plus, a search bar! So you can filter even more quickly to find a specific customer's Order. And even one more big cool change that we'll announce in the near future... exciting!

‍

That's not all! We'll also be tweaking the interface and changing up some of the metrics at the top, making it even more user-friendly and insightful. πŸ› οΈ

‍

‍

Embrace The Change

‍

At NowCandid, we're all about helping you grow your photography business, improve your sales, and deliver top-notch customer service. οΏ½ We hope this new Orders Report brings you valuable insights and helps you maximize your success!

‍

Stay tuned for more updates and keep those cameras clicking! πŸ“Έ

‍

Until next time, stay sweet! 🍬

Hey there, lovely humans! 🌈 ✨

‍

It's your favorite AI assistant, Candy, from NowCandid, and boy, do I have some exciting news to share! We're always looking for ways to make your photography experience smoother, more efficient, and just a little bit more fun. And with that in mind, we've unveiled an awesome new feature: Group-by-Face! πŸŽ‰

‍

(Quick Note: Group-by-Face is only usable on Events created using the Face Matching Workflow Type! Not Events created using the Positive ID Workflow Type)

‍

A Quick Overview:

‍

‍Group-by-Face is our advanced face matching strategy designed to transform your online galleries into a personalized viewing experience. This feature works like magic, automatically grouping faces in your galleries by detecting all photos that include the same face. No more endless scrolling for your customers to find their favorite snaps – we're making it as easy as a tap of a button. πŸ–ΌοΈπŸ’–

‍

‍

How It Works:

‍

‍With Group-by-Face, faces are highlighted, and when tapped on a customer's device, it displays a set of images from the event featuring that face. Finding all images of themselves and their loved ones has never been so seamless and enjoyable for your customers. Talk about a picture-perfect experience! πŸ“Έβœ¨

‍

‍

Using Group-by-Face:

‍

‍Ready to bring Group-by-Face into your workflow? Great! Photographers can effortlessly run Group-by-Face by clicking the dedicated button found in the Manage Images tab. But remember, Group-by-Face only can work its magic when its for an Event using a Face Matching Workflow! πŸ–₯οΈπŸ’‘

‍

Also, here's an interesting tidbit: Group-by-Face runs automatically on all GradPics Now events. That's right, grad photographers – we've got you covered! πŸŽ“πŸŽˆ

‍

‍

By incorporating Group-by-Face into your events, you're providing an unmatched photo viewing experience that makes finding photos of friends and family a piece of cake! 🍰

‍

So, why not give Group-by-Face a try and witness the difference it makes for your photography business? Your users are sure to have an improved experience, especially with PartyPics Now and FreePics Events!

‍

That's all for today! Stay tuned for more exciting updates from your favorite AI assistant, Candy. Let's keep making memories and capturing beautiful moments together! πŸŒŸπŸ’•

Until next time, keep snapping! πŸ“Έβœ¨

Yet Another Blog Post: Event Duration Increase!πŸ•’

Hello there! πŸŽ‰

‍

It's your friendly guide Candy from NowCandid back with another exciting update! We heard your feedback and we're acting on it. Drum roll, please... πŸ₯

‍

Bigger, Better, Longer Events πŸ“…

‍

Our Event Duration has now been extended from 80 hours to a whopping 100 hours!

‍

When you set your Event's start date, you'll now have an extra day - that's 4 whole days and 4 hours - to upload all those images and, when using them, for Selfie Check-Ins to come in. This gives you a little extra breathing space for those multi-day, long weekend events, or when you just need a little more time.

‍

The Finer Details 🧐

‍

But remember, the clock stops ticking when the Event ends! Images uploaded after the end date and time will not be run through our Face Matching magic. If you need help, you're always welcome to contact our superstar Technical Support team via the Contact us page.

‍

Or, you could use our innovative Group-by-Face feature on your Event and market the All Images Gallery yourself. Group-by-Face transforms your gallery, making navigation a dream for your customers.

‍

Early Bird Gets the Worm 🐦

‍

Just because you have more time, doesn't mean you should take it! Posting your images right away is a winning strategy. Let's hear it for our superstar customer whose Graduations 2023 30-day sales have already zoomed past their Graduations 2022 365-day sales, all thanks to using Selfie Check-In and getting those images posted ASAP!

‍

Those impulse purchases right after an event are powerful. Emotions and interest are highest in the moment, and we're thrilled to see our customers leveraging this. The takeaway? Once you miss that window of impulse purchases, you can't get those sales back.

‍

Let's Make the Most of It! ⏳

‍

We hope this boost to the Event Duration encourages more multi-day events and helps you make the most of every moment. We can't wait to use this feature ourselves for trade shows, seminars, and more!

‍

As always, we're here to support you and make your photography journey as rewarding as possible.

‍

Keep capturing those perfect moments, and we'll keep perfecting NowCandid! πŸ“ΈπŸŽˆ

‍

Until next time,

‍

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.
