Improving the Quality of Your Images

The HP Photosmart 420 series GoGo Photo Studio provides a variety of preferences and HP Real Life technologies that can improve the quality of your images. The settings, with the exception of Remove Red Eyes, do not change your original image. They only affect printing.

To remove red eyes from images:

1.While viewing images, press OK.

2.Select Remove Red Eyes in the Print Menu, then press OK. You can also select Remove Red Eyes in the Playback Menu. Follow the prompts on the camera Image Display to View Changes, Save Changes, or Cancel.

To zoom and crop an image

1.While viewing an image at normal size, press Zoom +. You can press Zoom + multiple times to increase the zoom level. A crop box shows the portion of the image that will print. A warning is displayed if the print quality will likely not be acceptable at the current zoom level. In this case the crop box changes from green to yellow to alert you. Press Zoom - to decrease the zoom level of a zoomed image or press OK to return quickly to the normal view.

2.Press the arrow buttons to move the crop box around the zoomed image, as needed.

Note If you want to print multiple copies of a zoomed image, press Print as many times as desired while the image is still zoomed. If the image reverts to normal size, you must zoom it again to print at the zoomed view.
