I finally transferred some files over onto my daily use hard drive from 2005. Stuff that I've been meaning to post process and post up. Yeah ... I'm that behind.
This picture I cropped and exported from Picasa. It needs a little bit of proper handling but I was pretty happy to find it nonetheless.
I decided to play with this in photoshop. I get it to look the way I like and when I save the file into a jpeg it looks completely different. I've never ran into this issue before and am feeling a bit confounded.
