A favorite ratio can be created from a custom ratio (from the Formula page) or from a blank ratio (from the Favorite Ratios page).
When setting up the shop for the first time, we advise you to create all the favorite ratios on one go from the Settings > Favorite Ratios page. Later, the painters can create the favorite ratios when needed in the Formula page from a custom ratio.
