Photo Fix

You have that once-in-lifetime event. Maybe it's your daughter's first day at school or your son's first classical guitar recital. You wanted to capture it but something didn't quite come out right. The lighting wasn't good and the photo turned out murky or dark.

Now you can transform a marginal photo into a memory worth saving with HP Photosmart Essential.

Rescue photos with Photo Fix

The edit photo screen

Your once-in-lifetime photos can become routine with proper paper and Photo Fix feature. For dark or murky photos that you want to salvage, select the Edit feature and then the Auto Fix button and watch your photo fix itself!

First, double click on a photo to enter the edit screen.

Next, click on the "Photo Fix" button.

It really is that simple. HP Photo Fix is unusual because it does so many things; it adjusts the lighting and improves the contrast to create the best effect.

Rescue all photos automatically before you print

Template print screen This is one smart feature, and you can apply it to all photos automatically prior to printing your photos at home.

Simply select photos for printing and choose either Simple Print or Template print. Click on 'Advanced options' and select 'Auto Fix Photos'.

Drop in a piece of HP Premium Plus Photo paper and see how good it looks!
