I only recently learned that the way you see color on your monitor is
affected by your personal settings; thus the difference in what I was seeing
on the screen what I got when I printed something out.

My monitor itself has little adjustment I can make other than brightness.
Putting this back to a normal setting made a great deal of difference. But
in Windows XP Control Panel I found an icon titled "Display" that allowed me
to do some adjustments.

So, it is true that different computers will all see difference in
photographs, depending on your settings.
