Weekly Recap: Sharper Images, A New Workflow & Capture App 4.20.10 📸✨
Hey photo friends!

This week’s updates are focused on clarity, quality, and efficiency—from sharper image previews across the board to a brand-new Face Matching Workflow, Roster Check-In.

Let’s take a look! 👀

🏅 New Workflow: Roster Check-In™

Made for sports and other rostered shoots when you want Face Matching™ + a roster in one workflow.

How it works:

1. Upload a roster to the Event (via the Dashboard, under your Event's Participants & Contacts page)

2. In the Capture & Upload app, log into your Event and choose Roster Check-In™ as your shooting mode

3. Pick a name from the roster (or add one via Type & Take)

4. Take a quick reference photo (using the device's camera or a tethered camera)

Done! Future image uploads, from the Capture & Upload app or from the Dashboard, will automatically match to that person and market them their new gallery.

Note: Requires Capture & Upload App 4.20.10

📋 Dashboard

  • 🏷️ PhotoTags on Tap-A-Face: You can now set PhotoTags when creating a participant via the manual Tap-A-Face available on the Image Details page
  • 🖼️ Higher-resolution images across key pages, including:
    • Manual Assign Images page
    • Image Release Gallery
  • 🎨 Overlay importer now shows full-frame previews (previously only banners)

🛍️ Retail Site

  • 🧖 Confirmation popup when adding Retouch items to the cart—provides extra info to the subjects about the retouching process
  • 😊 Face Finder now shows higher-resolution previews for better clarity

🔒 Private Image Download Galleries

  • 🖼️ Higher-res image previews for a sharper, more polished experience

📱 iOS Capture App 4.20.10 (coming Oct 10–13)

  • 👥 New Workflow: Roster Check-In™ — streamline your workflow by checking in subjects directly using a roster and the Capture & Upload App
  • 💬 UI updates:
    • Most error popups replaced with native dialogs for cleaner alerts
    • Login popup stays open on invalid login (no more accidental closures)
  • Performance boosts everywhere:
    • Less memory usage for uploads
    • Faster image details popups and Name Lookup lists
    • Better performance for image previews across the shooting page, film strip, image gallery, and FM Roster Check-In

🧩 Smaller Fixes & Improvements

  • 📸 Faster image loading:
    • Participant list and event overview now use smaller thumbnails
    • PhotoRoster™ Selfie Check-In™ imports now load quicker
  • 🗂️ BGR folder fixes: Group status button behavior corrected for edit folder popups
  • 📍 Tap locations on Image Details page now align correctly
  • 🖼️ Higher-res thumbnails on Manage Images (even in the smaller grid view)
  • 💌 Email-only participants now receive new image alerts after placing an order
  • 🧠 Watermark improvement: Retail site static watermarking now shows the word “Copyright” instead of your business name — this helps prevent AI tools from removing it as platforms are adding copyright-protection safeguards

That’s everything for this week! 💫

From sharper previews to smarter check-ins, these updates make every step of your workflow a little smoother (and crisper!).

Keep being amazing,
Candy 🍬

📸 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.
