Weekly Recap: PhotoCoach Support, Acrylic Puzzles & More! 🧠🧩

Hey there, photo friends!

Candy here with some sweet new updates from your NowCandid™ Dashboard.

We've got a powerful new coaching tool, a fun new product to sell, and a bunch of workflow-boosting fixes to round it out.

Let’s dive in! ✨

🆕 New Feature: PhotoCoach

Introducing PhotoCoach—your new secret weapon for improving the quality of your photographers’ photos over time! 🧠📷

With PhotoCoach, you can:

• • Review images from your Events and flag them with issues like "Acceptable," “Duplicate,” “Exposure Issue,” “Cropping Issue” and more (and make your own categories too!)
  ‍
• • Track photographer photo quality over time
  ‍
• • Send automatic feedback reports to your photographers with a breakdown of image counts & issue counts

It’s perfect for helping your team take more sellable images—leading to happier clients and stronger sales!

Find it now under Tools & More on your Dashboard and start coaching like a pro. 💪

Note: PhotoCoach is not new for CORE™ users (CORE™ is our sister-software at Candid Color Systems™), but it's new to NowCandid™! And it's had some feature improvements recently so it is now web-based! Woo!

🧩 NEW: 8×10 Acrylic-Backed Puzzle

Puzzle fans, rejoice! 🎉 You can now sell a 56-piece acrylic-backed 8×10 puzzle, complete with cute live-rendered previews on the retail site.

Why customers will love it:

• • Unique gift or keepsake
• • Durable acrylic & display-worthy

🔗 URL Filtering Just Got Smarter

Now when shoppers apply filters on the retail site, those filters update the URL automatically—making filtered views shareable with friends & family!

Not much more to say about this one, just a cool touch! :)

🛠️ Misc Tweaks & Fixes

A roundup of small but mighty changes:

• 📥 Dynamic Personal Gallery Downloads can now be purchased by shoppers via Favorites!
  
  • ○ A great addition for action sports—gives customers a “buy all” option that scales with the number of images selected, even when shopping from an All Gallery.
    ‍

• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Group-by-Face filter popup now shows only unique faces
  
  • ○ Applies to new Events only—re-run Group-by-Face on past Events if needed!
    ‍

• 🗂 BGR Folders are editable again via the “Edit Folder” option
  ‍
• 🖼 Retail site now scrolls past the cover photo if a filter is selected from the initial popup
  
  • ○ A smoother experience when arriving to an All Images gallery
    ‍

• 🧍‍♀️ Selfie Check-In button transforms post-Face Matching
  
  • ○ It now becomes a second Retail Site button after expiration
    ‍

That’s everything for this week! 💫

Whether you're giving photo feedback, selling puzzles, or just tidying up your workflow—we’ve got your back.
