Do all of the photos in the paper look that way or just yours? If they are reducing the contrast at the paper there's nothing you can do about it. If it's only yours that look dull, try increasing the contrast before you send them in. Look at Levels and be sure that the histogram extends all the way to both ends of the scale. If not, pull the arrows in to where the histogram starts. Use Curves to increase the contrast. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
