Hope some one can advise. Because my software was a bit old (Micrografx
Picture Publisher 7 & Windows 2000) I went out & bought Windows XP &
Photoshop Elements 4. Installed both today & all is fine except when I look
at jpegs in PSE4 the colours are very saturated especially the greens in
the old software Micrografx and Nikon Capture 4.4 and Nikon Picture projects
they are as before. These are recent photographs taken on a D70 in RAW & I
have just had very good commercially produced prints !2x18 done from them
and the colours are fine. Is there a setting I have to make in PSE4, the
current one is unadjusted from the first installation.

Best Wishes

Bruce

How did you set up color management in PSE? MGX PP is has no color
management iirc. Sounds like you might have NC set to sRGB since it matches
MGX and in PSE you have full color management set which is AdobeRGB.

I have left PSE4 on the default setting, Nikon Capture uses the Nikon SRGB
default as you say Micrografx has no setting so I assume it uses the Nikon
or Windows one. To see consistant results do I have to set PSE4 to the Nikon
setting if so how.

Shift+Ctrl+K, or from the menu: Edit->Color Settings - brings up the colour
management dialog. Select "Always Optimize Colors for Computer Screens".
