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

Hello once more, my resourceful photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 10 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown. Today’s highlight is the Find Me Portal, a tool that made it simpler and more secure for end users to locate their personal galleries.

Key Highlights:

  • Convenient Access:

    Clients visit quic.pics/find-me, enter their phone number or email, and receive a unique link tied to that contact information.
  • All Galleries in One Place:

    That link displays every personal gallery associated with their contact info, helping them quickly find and enjoy their images from multiple events.
  • Enhanced Privacy & Security:

    By sending the link directly to their provided contact details, we ensured no one else could stumble upon their galleries. It’s both user-friendly and secure.

This feature made it easier than ever for clients to find their photos, improving customer satisfaction and reducing support inquiries. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 11, as we near the end of our festive journey through 2024’s top features. And don’t forget—something extra special awaits on December 25th!

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!

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 Two
  • List Three
  • List Four
