    Default Everything looks darker and saturated in PE.

    I'm using 2.0 on Mac OS 10.2.6 and have tried resetting preferences and turning off color management. No luck. Another oddity is when I open the save for web window it preview the immages like everything else displays them. Good old PS LE 5.5 works fine though.

    Have you tried creating a new profile for your monitor? If not, it's in system prefs>displays>color. They do go bad once in a while. Frankly, I suspect that's not it, but best to rule out the easy stuff first. Also, have you messed with any of the colorsync settings in system prefs?

    I wound-up turning-off color management in elements with OS X because my prints were always too dark. I was getting better prints from my non color managed programs, like Portraits & Prints from Econ Technologies and iPhoto.

    I turned off color management and profile embedding and life seems to have returned to normal.
