HP Creations Shutting Down

[Messer1]

What software would be a good replacement for Photo Creations after November?

Offhand, the following might be a good option: Irfanview

Though the software is not quite point-and-click (as 'Creations), Irfanview does provide a wide range of clever functions, print options, and editing features.

Infranview provides a free program that can be used for a variety of scan and print tasks, including the “Mirror” or horizontal flip function.

Stop all programs:  Browsers, games, Applications, etc.

• Download the appropriate version (32bit or 64bit) of the program from the Website and install the program

• Additional information at the website, including: FAQ

Once installed, open the software > tab Help

Example help entry:

Vertical/Horizontal Flip

• Click on the Image Menu, then Vertical Flip. The image will turn upside-down. The left/right orientation will stay the same.
• Click on the Image Menu, then Horizontal Flip. The image will turn side-to-side, as in a mirror.

Note: The effect can be used on a smaller portion (rectangle selection) of an image, as well as the entire image.
