3. Repeat this action with each favorite photo thumbnail until you have selected all desired photos
4. Click the Add to Favorites link located at the top of the page. A Favorites set will be created based on your choices and a My Favorites link will be visible at the top left hand corner of the screen

To change the size of displayed thumbnails, click one of the ascending gray squares on the far right side of the page at the top.

PLEASE NOTE- We have discovered that this process is specific to your email logon and to your workstation.   When you want to review your favorites in the future make sure you logon under the same email and at the same station. After you complete and share them with me I can make a new gallery and you can then see them from anywhere. If this is confusing please feel free to call :) Elaine 301-655-3857
