How to Add Favorites

Adding favorites in CloudProofing is how your client's will create a group of images to order from.  So it is important that they are able to add images to their favorites list.  We have written some instructions below on how to add an image to favorites in CloudProofing

• Adding favorites from the Slideshow
• There is a menu bar on the bottom of the slideshow view in CloudProofing.  The button on the left of this menu says "Add to Favorites"  When you see an image that you like simply click the Add to Favorites button.
• Adding favorites when "Viewing Images"
• When you are viewing all of your images from the "Viewing Images" screen you will first see your images grouped into folders.  To view the images in a folder simply click the folder.  Once you see the thumbnails of the images in a folder you can add an image to favorites by dragging and dropping the thumbnail into the favorites box on the right hand side of the screen. 
  
• If you have selected "View Only Image"  then there is a button on the bottom left of the screen that says "Add Displayed Image To Favorites"
