Introduction

When editing a photo, sometimes it's nice to compare your recent version with the previous version and even against the original. HP Photosmart Essential helps you make sure you're happy with the changes you're making, while you are making them.

Change viewing options while editing

A side-by-side photo editing comparison feature in HP Photosmart Essential In the upper right above the editing area is a drop down menu with three viewing options. You can select One-up, Two-up or Three-up. The Three-up option lets you easily see the results of editing features by displaying current (edited), previous, and original photos on a single screen.

Other editing tools make it easy to rotate, crop, flip, resize photos, and remove red and pet eye. Color and Light tools let you apply HP's Adaptive Lighting and adjust image temperature (warmer or cooler). A Special Effects tool allows you to convert photos to black and white or sepia.

To launch the editing features, simply double-click the photo you want to edit on the Library screen, or right-click the photo and select "Edit" from the list.
