I need to reinstall HP Photo Creations software. Having trouble locating it online.

HP Photo Creations is not working.  I would like to reinstall the software but cannot locate it online.

You can't find it because Photo Creations was retired - the software is gone.  Sad.

At this writing, there is nothing to replace the almost magical point and click functionality of the Creations software.

Although not even close to a full project print software, consider (if you have not already installed) the HP Smart software for Windows 10.  Nice software, easy to install, somewhat intuitive to use, and it includes some of the features that are nice to have (multiple prints on one sheet of paper, for example).

There are mobile versions of HP Smart available, too.  Not quite as "smart" as the version for Windows, but getting better with each new release.

Next up:   Irfanview

This is great software - learning to use it can be a bit more complicated on the front end.  Irfanview is more of a photography edit / print tool than a simple "view it and print it" software.  Worth a look.

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

• Create a Restore Point (optional, recommended)
• 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.
