For posed picture days, Scanner ID, Name Lookup, and roster-based workflows help connect each athlete with their portraits. Face Matching offers flexibility when faces are visible across multiple stations or shots. For action coverage, use PhotoTags and All Images gallery filters to help families find relevant photos.

Can NowCandid be used for both sports portraits and action photography?

Yes. SportsPics supports individual portraits, team photos, picture days, games, and tournaments. Use personal galleries for identified athletes and PhotoTags or jersey filters for broader action coverage. Your setup can change from one event to the next.

How does NowCandid help families find action photos?

PhotoTags organize images by team, game, division, or another useful category. When you enable the All Images gallery, JerseyJotter™ also lets families filter by recognized jersey numbers and colors. These tools narrow the search without manually building a gallery for every athlete.

Yes. Import rosters, organize athletes and images with PhotoTags, and use image identification to keep large picture days manageable. Personal galleries, automated messaging, online ordering, and fulfillment help carry the job through after the shoot.

Do sports photographers need to upload images live?

No. Live uploading can help families browse action photos during a tournament or game. For picture days, you can edit first and upload afterward. Choose the timing that fits your staffing, connection, and sales plan.

Does SportsPics require a subscription?

Face Matching, background removal, automated marketing, retail support, and long-term image hosting are included without separate add-on fees. Optional AI edits have usage-based costs.

Can I pre-sell with physical vouchers?
Blue plus symbol with light glow effect on white background.Black minus sign icon on transparent background.

Yes. Create dollar-value promo codes with the Discounts tool and sell or distribute matching vouchers before picture day. Families apply their code in the online store once photos are available. Arrange payment for the voucher separately.

How do I create a virtual team photo?

Use Virtual Group Builder inside NowCandid to combine individual athlete portraits into one team image. Background removal creates the cutouts, and team artwork ties the design together. PhotoTags can help organize athletes for each group.

Does JerseyJotter replace athlete check-in?

No. JerseyJotter is a browsing tool in the All Images gallery, where shoppers filter by recognized jersey numbers and colors. Personal galleries use your chosen identification workflow. Use the tools together when covering both posed portraits and action.
