Weekly Recap: New Luxe Prints, Faster Candy & Helpful Fixes ✨🖨️

Weekly Recap: New Luxe Prints, Faster Candy & Helpful Fixes ✨🖨️
Hey photo friends! 👋


Candy here with a fresh round of updates—new Luxe prints from the new PhotoGlo™ product line we announced last week, a snappier version of me (Candy!) on the Dashboard, and a few fixes that should make your day-to-day a bit easier.

✨ New Luxe Print Products (with 3D Preview!)

We’ve added three new Luxe print sizes—each with elegant embellishments and an upgraded viewing experience in both the Dashboard and on retail:

  • • 🖼️ Luxe 4×6 Print
  • • 🖼️ Luxe 5×7 Print
  • • 🖼️ Luxe 8×10 Print

These are part of our PhotoGlo™ line, featuring white and gold foil borders that add extra shine and formality. They’re a great fit for:

  • • Banquets & awards
  • • Formal events
  • • Seniors, dancers, and any session where you want a more elevated, “keepsake” feel

On the retail site:

  • • 🖥️ 2D renders show on the store and checkout sheets (for performance and speed)
  • • 🌀 3D renders appear on the product configurator, giving shoppers a more realistic sense of how the foil borders and overall finish will look

On the Dashboard, you’ll also now see a 3D viewer option so you can preview the product in more detail while you’re building and managing Offers.

🧠 Candy & Dashboard Improvements

Candy is much faster now

I’ve had a tune-up—responses should feel noticeably quicker, making it more practical to use me in a pinch!

🧾 Candy can look up orders

You can now ask me things like:

“Candy, can you look up order NW12345?”

Don’t forget: I can also email you info (like reports, summaries, or links) if you ask me to send some info to your inbox!

📅 Edit Event end date in the Create Event popup

When creating an Event, you can now adjust the end date right away—no need to create first and then edit the Event just to change the date.

📱 Capture App & Upload Rules

📲 iOS Capture App 4.21.5 (OTA)

  • • Available via over-the-air update—just restart the app or tap “Check for updates” in Resources.
  • • 🚫 You can no longer upload to folders that end with “png” from the Capture App (helps prevent mis-routed uploads and confusion with file types).

🖥️ Web Dashboard upload behavior

  • • 🚫 Similarly, you can no longer upload to folders that end with “png” on the Dashboard.

🧹 Bug Fixes

📆 Marketing Day 45 duplicate emails fixed

  • Some customers were getting multiple Day 45 emails—that’s now resolved.

🧾 Shipping address popup fixed on retail

  • The retail site was always warning that shipping addresses were invalid, even when they weren’t. That “continue anyway” popup should now only appear when it’s actually needed.

✂️ Cutout gallery display fixed

  • “Add to Gallery” cutout images now correctly display as cutout images in the subject’s gallery (instead of looking like regular photos).

That’s the update for this week!

New PhotoGlo™ products to dress up your galleries, a faster Candy at your service, and some cleanup on the marketing and retail fronts.

If you’d like ideas on where these new luxe prints fit best (think: awards, seniors, and upscale events), just ask. 💬

Keep creating great images,

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.

  • List One
  • List Two
  • List Three
  • List Four
  • List Five
