It is my understanding that Elements uses certain algorithms to make the adjustments. One camera in auto mode may be closer to these defaults than another camera. Actually in full Photoshop you can make adjustments that effect the defaults of some of the auto corrections. I would think if your not seeing a change when using the auto corrections it is because a particular image is very close to what Elements uses a default.

Walnut,

James has a valid point although I am not sure how valid it is.
I believe there must be some sort of correlation between auto settings

of a(ny) camera and Elements. Would this not be the case each image enhanced with auto settings would respond differently to the auto settings of Elements.

However this is not the case is it? I mean if I use auto enhance the

image jumps to an average quality that is perceived by everyone as good quality. Wheras if James uses auto enhance with his camera the quality also jumps to the same good quality. Ergo, there must be some sort of benchmark setting in both.

May be some one else can help us a bit further in this?

Robert

PS: walnut you did not make a bad picture. I believe you made one that

is very close to what is perceived as "auto" and thus is a good picture. :-)

May be you can make an image which is seriously underexposed. Then

click for instance auto contrast or levels and see if there is any change. That should confirm whether your Elements works properly.
