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’s 12 Days of Christmas: Day 6 – Action Photography Features 🏃‍♀️✨

Hello again, energetic photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 6 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

Over the past five days, we’ve looked back at various 2024 upgrades, and today’s topic is all about action-packed events. Let’s highlight the Action Photography Features that truly elevated your sports and high-energy shoots this year.

Key Highlights:

  • Dynamic Galleries:

    End customers can add images to their personal gallery on the fly. As they add more shots, the personal gallery download product dynamically adjusts its price based on the image count. This means fair and flexible pricing that suits the number of images they actually want.


  • View Photos in Sequence (SportsPics):

    We introduced a handy "view photos in sequence" button. Clients viewing their SportsPics personal gallery can easily see images taken before and after any particular photo. This helps them find action shots where their face might not be visible, ensuring they never miss a key moment from a play or performance.

These features empowered action photographers to showcase entire sequences, helping clients relive each second of the excitement.

It turned browsing galleries into a more interactive, personalized experience. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 7, as we continue our festive journey through the year’s top improvements.

And remember, something special waits under the tree on December 25th!

Hello again,  globally-minded photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome to Day 5 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

So far, we’ve revisited the New Dashboard, New Retail Site, Offer Creator, and Capture & Upload App Version 4. Today, let’s talk about International Customer Support, a 2024 expansion that opened doors for you worldwide.

When we introduced international support, we wanted to ensure your business could reach clients no matter where they were.

Here’s what made it possible:

  • Global Marketing Texts & Links:

    Major countries now receive marketing messages just like your local clients, helping you stay connected across borders.
  • International Orders & Shipping:

    Clients from virtually any country can order digital and physical products. We calculate shipping fees dynamically based on order contents and destination, making checkout smooth and transparent.

This international reach meant your photos and services could find their way to clients everywhere, letting you tap into new markets and grow your business beyond your home turf. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 6 as we continue this festive journey through 2024’s best features. And remember, something special is coming on December 25th!

Hello, my holly-jolly photographers! 🎅

Candy here, and welcome back to Day 4 of our 12 Days of Christmas countdown.

So far, we’ve revisited the new Web Dashboard, the New Retail Site, and the Offer Creator. Today, let’s look at Capture & Upload App Version 4, one of the key updates that kept you snapping and uploading with ease throughout 2024.

When we rolled out Version 4, we aimed to improve both performance and functionality.

Here’s what made it stand out:

  • Face Boxes on iOS:

    Enhanced face detection and clarity for more accurate participant matching.
  • Performance Improvements:

    A smoother, faster app experience, letting you focus on capturing the moment rather than waiting on your device.
  • Dark Mode for OLED Screens:

    Battery-saving and easier on the eyes, perfect for long event days where every percent of battery counts.
  • Foundation for Future Tools:

    This update laid the groundwork for features like GroupTags (stay tuned for Day 7!), ensuring you were ready for the capabilities we’d roll out later in the year.

The Capture & Upload App Version 4 played a crucial role in optimizing your Workflow, and helping you handle busy events with confidence. 🎉

Check back tomorrow for Day 5, as we continue highlighting the top features of 2024. And remember, something extra 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.
