Hey photo friends! 👋

‍
This week is a mix of one new product and a handful of refinements across retail pricing, check-in validation, and Dashboard tools.

‍

Here’s what changed.

‍

🆕 New Product

‍

🖼️ 24×8 Panoramic Print (Group-only)‍

• A new panoramic option in the same aspect ratio as the other pano prints, built for team and group shots. (Like the others, it’s group-only.)

‍

🛍️ Retail: Pricing & Editing Improvements

‍

💸 Package “slashed” pricing corrected and standardized‍

• Fixes around week 2/3 slash amounts so package comparisons are more accurate and consistent (including cases where tiered pricing is disabled on Quic events).

‍

✍️ Captions editor now allows hyphens and periods‍

• Small change, big relief for subjects with multi-hyphenate names.

‍

✅ Check-In Page: Better Email Validation

‍

📧 Improved email validation‍

• Now also requires at least one period
• Now blocks obvious typos like addresses ending in “.con”
• These are in addition to previously existing "catches" we had in place to help customers avoid typos

‍

👥 Additional Contacts now use the same validation rules‍

• Makes additional contact info more typo-proof too!

‍

🖥️ Dashboard: Fewer Snags, More Visibility

‍

🧪 Image Tester now supports PNG files‍

• Helpful for validating cutouts and art files.

‍

📏 Improved DPI validation for artwork uploads (and Image Tester)

• Better handling for images that don’t explicitly include DPI metadata.

‍

📦 Package editor expanded limits‍

• You can now include up to 16 4×6 and 5×7 prints in a package
• (Digital downloads remain capped at 16; most other items remain capped at 8).

‍

📁 Manage Images: Folder Download fixed for large folders‍

• Folders over 100 images now reliably download in multiple ZIPs (no more stopping after the first chunk).

‍

🧾 Order Details page got a big clarity upgrade‍

You can now see key indicators and selections more directly, including:

• ✨ product finish/overlay indicators
• 🖼️ backgrounds / AI background indicators (where applicable)
• 📝 captions and chosen colors
• ⬇️ background downloads working correctly again

‍

🍬 Candy Culler Improvements

‍

📊 Results update automatically while culling runs‍

• As progress changes, search results refresh so culled images can appear without you manually refreshing.

‍

🗂️ New downloadable folder report‍

• Quick export alongside the toggle for easier review/sharing.

‍

💬 Misc

‍

📲 Day 0 SMS link placement updated‍

• The retail link now appears after the unsubscribe text to encourage better MMS link previews.

‍

That’s the week!

‍

Another new pano option, tighter retail pricing presentation, cleaner check-ins, and a more informative Dashboard where it counts.
