So, this is a question for all of my fellow camera and photo editing fiends.
I am finding that the images I see on my computer screen are really quite different not only to what I see printed, but also different to how they appear on other computer screens. Case in point, this photo.....

My pix are lighter and brighter on the HP pavilion f1703 flat panel monitor than the TV screen-type top monitor at work. Interestingly the pix show up bigger at work (something about pixels on CRT? Dunno.) But do know there's a difference. And sometimes things show a wee bit different on the lappie. But the biggest difference is between the desktop monitor and the work monitor.
And when I was asked to make a CD of my SL AT pix to give to AT, then I learned really quick on my own about the sizing and the lightening of the pix for print by messing with it and printing a few test pix. (And seeing real quick the cheap Lexmark printer that came with the bundle is not the best thing for pix.) *sighs* And it's a terrible thing to admit, but I now have nearly a year's worth of pix in the hard drive and not one printed.......
I do see in your pic (here on the home desktop monitor) the same thing you described. I got into my PSE3 and it looked the same there to me, so I tried adjusting the shadows menu (a pop-up dialog box in mine) and increased the percentage to lighten it a wee bit and did what Ses said to the upper slider, but not down as far as 225.
