Editing Made Easy with HP Canada and Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 #HPFamilyTime

January 20, 2014 by Kathryn 52 Comments

I have always said that photography is not one of my gifts, but over the last year I’ve worked hard on developing my skills both so that I can take better pictures for my website and so that I can better capture special family moments. And I’ve learned that a big part of photography is the editing that happens afterwards.

As a beginner, I used a fairly basic editing program, but I was quickly amazed by what a different it made in my pictures. Even something as small as brightening a dim photo often made a world of difference. And with my new HP Envy Recline 23 TouchSmart All-in-One computer, I knew I wanted to dive into photo editing even more. Luckily, Adobe Canada made it easy by providing me with Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 and Adobe Premiere Elements 12 so that I could see how HP and Adobe could take my pictures from so-so to sensational!

Families Connect with the HP Envy Recline 23 All-in-One Desktop PC

January 13, 2014 by Kathryn 68 Comments

This year my family had the chance to make some extra special Christmas memories with the help of HP Canada and it was a holiday to remember for sure! I was so excited to learn about all the great free printable crafts and home décor projects from Snapfish by HP, and printing them out with the HP Envy 5530 eAll-in-One Printer was a breeze. With the home decked out and ready for family fun, it was time to enjoy some bonding and family togetherness, and once again HP was ready to help!

My boys have a lot of family that live quite far away. In fact, their Dad’s entire side of the family lives in Quebec, which means they’ve only had the chance to spend time with their grandparents and some of their aunts and uncles in person once before. But in the modern age, that doesn’t mean they still can’t connect and talk! The boys have been using Skype to chat with their extended family for years now and this year our Skype sessions got a whole lot better when HP sent us the HP Envy Recline 23 TouchSmart All-In-One Desktop PC!

This beautiful all-in-one computer was a huge upgrade from my little laptop, which is what we usually used to chat with family. While I did have a desktop computer, I didn’t have a webcam for it so my laptop screen was the only option for connecting face-to-face. It worked, but sometimes the screen would be hard to see and my boys always ended up pushing to get in front of the camera and see what was happening. [Read more…]
