Creating (burning) a CD or DVD of photos

See "Creating (burning) a CD or DVD of music or photos" on page 37.

HP TouchSmart Canvas

The Canvas tile is a virtual interactive collage. Open the Canvas tile and create collages of photographs.
Share collages with family, make a poster, or use a collage as your computer desktop background. At the
lower part of the tile, tap one of the folders of photos. Tap the fly-out menu that comes up, and drag the
picture you want onto the canvas to add it to the collage. Use a two-finger touch to rotate or resize photos.
Tap a free area on the canvas, and draw a circle around several photos. Then, use the tag feature to tag
the photos. This is an efficient method of tagging a variety of photos at once.
Tap the top color bar to open a screen to manipulate photos. After you create a collage, be sure to save it.

HP TouchSmart Music

HP TouchSmart Music lets you organize and play your music easily. Browse your music collection by
album, artist, genre, song, or playlist. You can also play CDs, view song titles and album art, and create
editable playlists.
Unlike other HP TouchSmart tiles, if you have music playing and drag the music tile to the lower tile row,
your music still plays, and control buttons are still visible.
HP TouchSmart accesses your music from the Music folder on your hard drive (you can access this folder by
tapping the Start button, and then Music). If you have downloaded iTunes and have an iTunes account
(not included), the iTunes folder resides in this Music folder also.
Using the Settings button, choose to access your music from either your Music folder on your hard drive,
or from your iTunes folder. You cannot view both libraries at once. The iTunes choice is disabled if you have
not downloaded iTunes.
HP TouchSmart Music supports the following music file formats: .mp3, .wma, .wav, .aac, .m4p, and .m4a.
NOTE: You must install iTunes (not included) and create an account to enable HP TouchSmart to support
.m4p and .m4a file formats.
