Congrats. Yes it seem that the faved work pretty well. But I can't say the same for the ones that aren't, but nice feature anyway

You have to go in "downloaded" and then select the more recent by clicking on view image.

I cant post a screen shot but Ill try to help.

In the top part of the screen you have Designers/Photographers, ok?

In "photographers" you have:
account, portfolio, profile, faved, upload, history, watermark, donate, earnings, downloaded, releases, faq, forum, blog.

I you first enter in "earnings" you ll see numbers of latest sales.
Then you can click downloaded and you will see your subscription latest images sold. Or you can choose the "credits" link to see your credit sales images.

 ;)

I don't quite understand the "faving" at 123. Form things I have read hear, I thought you cauld "fave" images and it would help you out, but when I look it seems to fave photographers. Can someone give me some insight? Thx!

Hit the "faved" link at the top. The page that opens will be your portfolio, with the ability to select "faves". You'll be told how many faves you can have.

Select your full quota. You should find you get more downloads. You can change them around whenever you like. Worth doing so to get more exposure on different images from time to time.

tnx.

Hi guys,

I must admit that after I reorganized my favs, my downloads increased quite a bit.  It's really easy to unfave, here are the steps.

Click the faved button on the top of the screen and this opens a part that says my images and my fave images.  Go into my fave images and there will be an option to unfave under each picture.

Hope this helps.

Want to share some recomendation.

http://www.123rf.com/src_mitzrah/profile_chode - some recommendation, you shouldn't fave too many same type of image, you know, like too many fruits, only the best ones.

Then you want to look at the discover page : http://www.123rf.com/discover/ and look at what keywords are people looking for now.

Then fave those that people are looking for. That way, you have more chance of exposure and sale.

hope you get more sales, you have a nice portfolio.
