Why do JPG's change color when loaded into PS Elements?

and you probably have that set too low. Without more specifics on your
settings that's about all I can say.

I thought there might be something on calibration... this program is relatively
new to me... and I just changed to an LCD monitor as well!

Thanks for the advice.
