Beginner - Color questions

[dvack92]

I use the Silverfast AI (ver 5) plug-in to bring images into Photoshop LE. The resolution seems to be excellent, but the color is off, and the image appears darker.

In particular, in the dark areas of the photo, detail seems to fade.

How can I correct this? Is is a Color management issue?

Yes it's colour managment or to be precise the lack thereof in Photoshop LE. You've asked a broadly similar question already and the answer there should be clear enough.

BTW: If you put your questions in one message it will be easier for someone to answer.

I appologize for the confusion. In the future I will load them all in one message.

I may have to get the full version of Photoshop to solve the problem, but I was looking for a less expensive solution.

You have been very helpful.
Thanks

My gamma gradient was set to 1.8. I will try setting it to 2.2 and see what happens.
