Weekly Recap: Capture 4.20, Favorites for All Image Galleries, and More 📸
Hey hey! Candy here with your NowCandid updates.

Let’s dig into what’s new this week:

🚀 Capture App Version 4.20 Is Here!

Big updates just dropped in NowCandid Capture App v4.20, and I’m here to walk you through all the exciting changes. Whether you’re on iPhone, iPad, or now even a Mac, this update makes capturing better, faster, and more flexible than ever.

🖥️ Now on Apple Silicon Macs!

Mac support has officially landed!


If you’ve got a Mac from 2020 or newer (Apple Silicon), you can now run the NowCandid Capture App directly on your computer. That means full access to camera tethering, live-uploading, Selfie Check-In Station, and more—all in the same app you already know and love on iOS and iPadOS.

Perfect for studio setups or hybrid workflows where a full keyboard and screen come in handy!

📷 Fujifilm Joins the Party

That’s right—Fujifilm cameras are now fully supported!


With this, all five major camera brands are compatible with NowCandid Capture & Upload:

  • • Canon
  • • Sony
  • • Nikon
  • • LUMIX
  • • Fujifilm

So, if you’re shooting sports, portraits, grads, or events on a Fuji body, you’re now cleared for lift-off. 🎉

NOTE: To connect a Fuji camera to the Capture & Upload App, you must select a USB Tether Shooting option in the camera's Networking Settings.

🔮 Future-Proofed for Apple OS Updates

Capture App v4.20 includes early support for iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26, so you’ll be all set once those updates roll out later this year. No last-minute patching or scrambling required.

🎨 Visual & Interface Upgrades

  • • Animated UI numbers (like image counts!) now update with fun, smooth transitions.
  • • New Shooting Page UI on iPhone gives more space to your camera feed.
  • • Sharpened icons throughout the app—crisper visuals everywhere.
  • • Phone keypad is now larger and easier to tap.
  • • PhotoTags popup got a cleaner layout.
  • • Updated splash screen messages: wittier, more emoji-filled, and faster-loading too!

📸 Photo Booth & Selfie Check-In Tweaks

  • • New Color Filters for Photo Booth: Try out Juno, Lark, Mayfair, Sierra, and Walden—just like your favorite photo apps.
  • • Photo Booth collage previews now live-update when filters or backgrounds change. What you see is actually what you get!
  • • Internal camera now runs at 60fps on the Shooting Page, Selfie Check-In Station, and Photo Booth Mode for smoother live-video feeds.
  • • Flash support added to Selfie Check-In: the screen will flash during the photo if your device decides it’s needed.
  • • "Close" button for Selfie Check-In Station is now only shown during the contact info step (to reduce some confusion users had).

🛠️ Performance & Power Gains

  • • Better battery life and CPU usage from under-the-hood improvements.
  • General performance improvements to make the app snappier.
  • • iOS 18+ now supports dark mode icons and tinted app icon options for better theme matching on your device.
  • • The Lock button is now in the iPhone's shooting page wheel menu—it’s still there if you need it, just tidier.

With v4.20, the NowCandid Capture App is faster, more flexible, and ready for more workflows than ever—whether you’re on your phone, iPad, or a shiny new Mac. 🧃

⭐ Favorites for All-Image Gallery Links

Your subjects can now favorite images when viewing the All Images Gallery for an Event! Favorites will stick around between sessions on the same device and browser, and if the visitor logs in, they’ll sync across their devices too.

This opens up new workflows for action sports photographers and beyond. Want to promote the full gallery and let customers find their pics with JerseyJotter™ filters? Now they can build their own personal gallery of favorites, even if they didn’t check in or match through Face Matching. In general, this makes the All Images Gallery more shoppable for every type of Event.

🔧 Misc New Features & Tweaks

Some smaller updates this week—still useful!

  • 📥 Press & Hold Downloads (Now with Backgrounds!)
    QuicPics users on mobile can now press and hold to download images with their selected background. Previously, this was only available through the cart and checkout.
  • 🔢 JerseyJotter™ Filter Stats Update
    When filtering by number, color filter stats will now update dynamically to reflect how many images match both filters. It’s a smarter way to narrow things down.
  • 🛡️ GalleryGuard™ in Photo Synthesis™ Galleries
    Retail visitors browsing their Photo Synthesis™ gallery via Quic.Pics are now protected by screenshot blocking, just like the standard retail site. 📵
  • 💰 Sort by Purchased Images
    On the Manage Images page, you can now sort by “Purchased Images” to see what’s actually selling. Great for evaluating your top-performing shots!
  • 🧠📸 Memory Mate is now a "Hybrid" product!
    We’ve updated how Memory Mate products behave on the retail site. They’ll now show up in both the Group and Individual product sections depending on what photo types are available in the gallery.
    Even better: when a customer clicks into the product gallery, Memory Mates will preview with either the group photo or individual photo already filled in—whichever one they had selected going in.

That’s everything for Now!

More improvements coming your way soon. Keep snapping, tagging, and selling—I'll be here making it smoother every step of the way.

Cheers,

Candy

Hey friends! 📸

Candy here with another round of updates from the NowCandid™ world.

This week brings big improvements for Face Matching™ Events, new ways to re-use your check-ins across Events, and a couple of helpful tweaks to the retail site and image management tools.

Let’s dive in! 👇

⏳ Face Matching™ Now Lasts 60 Days!

That’s right—your Face Matching™ window has now doubled from 30 to 60 days from your Event's Start Date! 🙌

This means even more time for:

  • • Late uploads to still get matched 🔄
  • • Schools to send out the Selfie Check-In™ link after the Event 📬
  • Stragglers to find their photos 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♂️🧍

But here’s your friendly reminder: the faster you upload, the better your sales! 🏃‍♂️💸

📸 Every image uploaded goes through:

  • • Exposure correction automatically
  • • Optional cart-wide light retouching for customers
  • • Manual review for print color accuracy
  • • Intuitive cropping tools for end users

So don’t sit on your images to batch-edit them all—uploading sooner = more sales.

Every day that passes = potential sales slipping by. Speed matters!

🔁 Create PhotoRosters™ from Selfie Check-Ins!

This one’s a fun one for graduation season! 🎓

Now you can create a PhotoRoster™ directly from the Selfie Check-Ins™ of a previous Event.

Here’s why it’s awesome:

  • • Ran a great Prom with tons of Check-Ins? ✅
  • Reuse that same data to auto-create your graduation PhotoRoster™! 🎓
  • If participants Check-In again or get added via Tap-A-Face™, NowCandid™ automatically merges based on contact info = no duplicate galleries, no confusion!

Perfect for client relationships where you cater to all of their school's Events!

🧰 Misc. Improvements & Fixes

A few extra goodies for your workflow this week:

  • 🔠 New image name sort option on the Manage Images page (great for keeping sequences clean).
  • 📲 Prominent Selfie Check-In™ button added to All Images galleries (so folks can find their pics even faster!).
  • 🧾 A “non-refundable” tag has been added to the shopping cart & receipt for digital items to help set better expectations.
    • (Digital photography = no take-backs! This helps avoid confusion.)

That’s all for now! 🎉

If you have any questions about the new features, you can always reach me from your dashboard! 💬

See you next week for more enhancements and pro tips!

Cheers,

Candy

Package selection just got a serious upgrade! 🎁

When a customer is picking images for each item in a Package, they’ll now see:

  • • Tabs to toggle between All Images and their Personal Gallery
  • • Pagination to easily flip through the All Images Tab

This is especially useful when customers are shopping for Packages directly from a link to the All Images Gallery — now it’s easier to browse and find their perfect shot! 💫

🛠 Miscellaneous Fixes & Tweaks

Here’s a quick roundup of other small (but mighty!) improvements this week:

  • 🏷️ Empty PhotoTags™ no longer appear on the retail site — cleaner and simpler for your customers!
  • 💸 Venmo now shows up more consistently as an express checkout option.
  • 📅 Interested in attending Summer Seminar 2025 in OKC? Head to the Profile Page in your dashboard for the invite and sign-up link!
  • 🐞 Tons of small bug fixes and polish across the platform. We’re always working to keep things speedy, intuitive, and delightful!

Hey there, photography superheroes! 🦸‍♀️📸

This week, we've launched a wave of updates designed to make the NowCandid™ experience smoother, clearer, and even more photographer-friendly.

From helpful interface changes to new sharing tools and fixes to long-standing quirks—there’s a lot to cover, so let’s jump in!

💡 The Clarity Campaign: Making Things Make More Sense™

We’ve been listening to feedback and noticed some common points of confusion around terminology in the dashboard, reports, and app. So, we’re making some well-needed name changes that we think will make life easier for everyone—especially new users just getting started.

Here’s what’s changing:

  • • GroupTag(s)PhotoTag(s)

    A more intuitive name to describe this helpful organization tool!
  • • FaceMatch ImportPhotoRosters™
    • “FaceMatch Import” is now “PhotoRosters”
    • “FaceGroups” are now “PhotoRosters”
    • “Organizations” remain the same
  • • Participant(s)Contact(s) (most places)
    • On reports and list pages, you'll now see “Contacts” or "Participants & Contacts" instead
    • “Participants” now refers only to Contacts with matched or assigned images
  • • Home tabReports tab

    Plus, “Events” is now the first tab in the dashboard navigation, making the flow easier for new users!

These aren’t just name changes—they’re clarity boosters designed to help everyone understand the platform faster and more fully. 💡

Reports will be updated next week as well to reflect this changes, hopefully making them even more accurate & helpful! We love reporting & analytics around here.

🔍 Price & Product Preview Pages

Photographers can now generate read-only URLs of their Offers to share with school officials, parents, or event organizers ahead of time.

✅ What this means:

  • • You can preview exactly what the pricing and product lineups will look like
  • • Share a clean, professional view of your Offer—no dashboard access required
  • • Useful for gatekeepers who need to approve pricing or product options in advance

Find this option in the Offers tab today! 🚀

⚙️ Dashboard Tweaks & Tools

Small changes = big improvements to your workflow. Here's what's new:

  • ✉️ You can now edit your Business Email in Profile Settings (this affects retail site contact and backprinting!)
Editable via "Business Info" within your Profile Settings on the Web Dashboard!
  • 🧮 Unassigned Image Count added to the image count popup in Manage Images
Found via the graph icon near the top of an Event's Manage Images page!
  • 🔁 Associated Events now visible at the PhotoRoster level (not just at the Org level)
  • 📜 Offer Logs! You can now view an edit history of each Custom Offer, including edits made by you or the NowCandid™ team

🔧 Notable Fixes

We’ve patched some common hiccups:

  • 📱 Selfie Check-In bugs on newer Samsung phones
  • 📷 Fixes for uploading from camera roll on iOS
  • 🖼️ Memory Mate product bug affecting custom background rendering
  • 🚫 Express Checkout bug fix: clearer error when customers enter short names (like initials)

That’s all for this week, friends! 🥳

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.
