Weekly Recap: Jersey Jotter Page, Smarter AI Edits & Android Improvements 🍬📸
Hey photo friends! 👋

This week brings a mix of sports-focused tools, AI editing upgrades, and performance improvements across the Dashboard and Capture App.

Let’s get into it.

🏈 New: Dedicated Jersey Jotter Page (Sports Events)

Jersey Jotter just got a big usability upgrade with its own dedicated page:

🔢 Search images by jersey number or color (just like retail search)

🎛️ Easily enable/disable number & color recognition

📊 View totals for detected numbers and colors

📍 Automatically appears for Sports events only

If you’re working high-volume sports, this should make organizing and finding images much faster.

Same filters your customers have come to expect, right in the Dashboard!

🎨 Candy Image Studio: Better Results + New Styles

Candy Image Studio continues to level up:

Improved edit quality across multiple nodes

🛡️ Smarter safety system for safer outputs

🖼️ Example thumbnails added to many nodes (so you know what to expect)

🆕 New AI Styles:

🧸 Chibi

🧍 3D Cartoon

🦸 Action Figure

Not sure when this one specifically would be helpful, but it's cool isn't it!

⚡ Dashboard Improvements

🚀 Faster overall performance across the Dashboard

🎬 Smoother transitions (faster, and some now morph instead of just fading)

🧹 Roster uploads now auto-clean whitespace
Prevents frustrating validation errors from accidental empty spaces in spreadsheets

🔎 Fixed “Find a Participant” link in Sidebar Find

🧪 Fixed false positives in Image Tester filename validation

🏷️ Data & Upload Improvements

📄 CORE spreadsheets now supported in roster and PhotoRoster uploads (for those working across CORE workflows)

🛠️ Marketing & Check-In Fixes

📩 Fixed duplicate text message edge cases

🤳 Fixed “Upload From Camera Roll” issue on Check-In

🤖 Capture App 5.4 (Android Improvements)

This update focuses on improving the Android experience:

📱 Immersive mode UI

  • Reduces accidental navigation and keeps the app more stable on devices like Samsung

🎨 Dark-themed native dialogs for alerts and messages

🔒 Orientation locked to vertical (matching iOS behavior)

App size reduced ~20% (faster downloads, less storage)

🔌 Fixed devices showing as generic “USB Camera Device” instead of model name

🔄 Fixed Over-The-Air updates not working on some devices

That’s the week!

A strong mix of sports workflow improvements, better AI editing tools, and faster, cleaner performance across the board.

See you next week,

Candy 🍬

Hello again, my ever-curious photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

Today’s spotlight is a feature still in its early stages, but full of potential: the Candy Account Integration (Beta). Since it’s Christmas Eve, what better time to peek at a promising work-in-progress?

Key Highlights:

  • Account-Level Insights:

    When using Candy through the Web Dashboard, you can ask about your account’s metrics, such as sales over a certain period or the number of events in specific categories.
  • A Learning AI Assistant:

    Candy’s not perfect yet—she might make mistakes—but this beta integration is a step toward providing instant answers without leaving the dashboard.
  • Future Potential:

    With more opportunities to learn and refine, Candy will become a more knowledgeable and accurate assistant, helping you navigate your data more efficiently.

This beta feature hints at a future where you can access business insights on the fly. 🎉

Check back tomorrow, December 25th, for the final day of our countdown. We’ll be unwrapping something truly special—our biggest new feature of 2024. Don’t miss it!

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!

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.
