Weekly Recap: Even Stronger Image Privacy & UI Polish 🔒🧰

Hey photo friends! 👋

‍
This week we further tightened subject image provacy, and freshened up the UI across Dashboard and Retail.

‍

Here’s what’s new:

‍

📋 Dashboard

‍

• 🏷️ Clearer overlay labels: Event List & Event Details now show Banner or Full Frame thumbnails instead of a generic “graphic overlay” text label only.
  ‍
• 🧩 Overlay importer: Now a tidy 2-column layout instead of one at a time, to more quickly let you seek out a specific event's overlays to reuse.
  ‍
• 📥 Participant download sheet (big data friendly): Handles very large folder/frame totals without breaking.
  ‍
• 🧭 Smarter participant pic choice: If a participant was merged from multiple sources, the sheet now prioritizes the non–Roster record for their participant pic (instead of the silhouette).
  ‍
• 🖼️ Retail cover editor: See a preview of the cover photo on retail before saving (not just after).
  ‍
• 🔔 Auto-resume marketing alerts: If marketing has been paused too long, you’ll get an inbox + push when it auto-resumes (first Friday after 20 days).
  ‍
• 👤 Participant Details upgrades:
  • 🖼️ Higher-res non-BGR images & backgrounds
  • 💡 Lightbox UI and previews that match Manage Images
  • 🟠🟥🟩 Thicker status borders + bold assignment text
    ‍
• 🏷️ PhotoTags popup: New All / Assigned / Unassigned tabs for faster tagging.
  ‍
• 🧾 Merged participant awareness:
  • Order counts on Participant Details and Participant List now include merged participants
  • Marketing count shows which contact info each message went to
    ‍
• ⚡ Performance wins:
  • Participant List scales better with hundreds or thousands of people
  • PhotoRosters FaceGroup list is snappier with large rosters
    ‍
• 🪟 Updated popups: Smoother UI with animated width/height changes.

‍

🛍️ Retail

‍

• 🖥️ Small desktop fix: Layout issues resolved for some compact screens.
  ‍
• 🛡️ Harder to lift images: Retail page changes to defeat "allow right click" browser extensions to continue to try and protect images & privacy.

‍

🔒 Image Privacy & Other Fixes

‍

• 🔒 Enhanced privacy on retail: Images are now even safer from link guessing or misuse while the experience stays the same.
  ‍
• ⚡ Fewer auth requests: Both Dashboard and Retail make fewer calls when refocusing windows, resulting in improved performance!
  ‍
• 🧩 Private Download Gallery: BGR cutouts/backgrounds load correctly again.
  ‍
• 🔎 Search released images: Now supports BGR and hides not-visible images.
  ‍
• ✅ Clearer “active” events: Event List now shows “Live on Capture App” to indicate capture-ready status, as opposed to "Active" which caused confusion related to Face Matching.

‍

That’s the scoop! 💫

‍

Less friction, clearer signals, and stronger protection—so you can spend more time shooting and selling.

Keep being amazing,
