Hey photo friends! 👋

‍

Candy here with another round of updates! This week’s highlights include a fresh redesign for Titled Luxe Prints, a brand-new 4×6 size, continued Background Removal improvements, and some helpful Dashboard upgrades for PhotoRosters, Event Tags, and Positive ID workflows.

‍

✂️ Background Removal Keeps Getting Better

‍

🟢 Green screen cutouts improved (again!)

‍

✨ Overall cutout quality improved

‍

We’re continuing to tune Background Removal so cutouts look cleaner across more shooting conditions. Stay tuned for even more improvements!

‍

📱 Capture App 5.9.1 – Android

‍

📷 Full-quality internal camera capture

• Android devices now use the full available quality of their internal cameras when shooting through the Capture App.
• Previously, it was using a down-sized version!

‍

🖥️ Dashboard Improvements

‍

🪪 Faster Positive ID Scanner Card generation

• The Scanner ID Workflow's Scan Card PDF Generator is now performs better, stalls less, and produces significantly smaller download files.

‍

⚠️ Background artwork warning‍

• When uploading an Event background, NowCandid can now detect text or logos and show an extra warning.
• This reinforces the existing recommendation to avoid placing important text or branding on backgrounds where product cropping could cut it off. Use our Overlay features instead!

‍

✨ Clearer Auto Editor folder naming

• Manage Images now shows a sparkles icon for Folders containing AI edits, with clearer formatting for Folders created by the Auto Editor.

‍

📥 Import PhotoRosters directly from Participant List

• Face Matching Events now have an Import from PhotoRoster button at the top of the Participant List page, letting you select and import a PhotoRoster without navigating away.

‍

🎨 Candy Image Studio & Auto Editor

‍

🖼️ Background Generator improvements

• Outputs are now sized more appropriately for uploading back into an Event
• Generated background sets match each other more consistently

‍

💰 Every node now displays its price

• Previously, only discounted nodes showed pricing. Now every node clearly displays what it costs!
• Expect more nodes with their own unique prices in the future! We will continue to build on and improve our Auto Edit & Image Studio tools.

‍

🧩 Predetermined node order

• Nodes can no longer be drag-and-dropped into different edit "orders".
• Their hierarchy is now set automatically so edits run in the best possible sequence without you needing to think about it!

‍

🛠️ Auto Editor UI refreshed

• Several interface changes make setup and options clearer and easier to understand.

‍

📋 PhotoRoster Improvements

‍

👥 Multiple PhotoRosters per Event

• Fixed an issue that could prevent you from importing more than one PhotoRoster into the same Event.

‍

💬 Clearer disabled export messaging

• If Export is unavailable, clicking it now explains why.

‍

🚫 Empty PhotoRosters can’t be exported

• A PhotoRoster must have at least one member with an image before it can be exported to an Event.

‍

🔐 Password-Protected Public Event Lists

‍

Event Tags now have an optional extra layer of privacy:

‍

🔑 Password-protect your Public Event List Pages:

• ➕ Set a password while creating a new Event Tag
• ✏️ OR add or remove the password using the Event Tag editor

‍

This works similarly to the password protection for your Private Image Download Galleries.

‍

🛍️ Retail Fixes & Protection

‍

🖼️ Fixed package editing edge cases where the Overlay step could be missing while choosing a new image

‍

🛡️ Additional GalleryGuard improvements

‍

That’s the week!

‍

The refreshed Titled Luxe Prints are the star of this update, with better Background Removal, easier PhotoRoster importing, and more control over Event Tags rounding things out.

‍

Keep creating magic,‍

Candy 🍬
