Bugger. Sorry, Collin.
For what it's worth, I used to have the same red saturation problem with
Fuji Press 800, so it isn't exclusively a digital issue. All I can say
is, shoot RAW, and pull back the exposure in PE2.

Using channel mixer is a brilliant idea, but it won't help Collin. He is
using Elements 2 and there is no channel mixer in that program (unless he
downloads a patch adding some "hidden" tools). The same goes for curves as
Mat suggested.

Saw these today. So I shot 'em.
But ... what's with the red sensitivity?
The specific complaint -- they look flat.
There's no texture in the red. Looks like Kodak film did this?
(6*** mode).
Can they be processed to improve the appearance?
images 2031 & earlier were shot ISO 800 by mistake.
Later were ISO200 minus 1 stop.
(I'm using PS Elements 2.0)

When I'm shooting musicians, lighting in the pubs is often mostly red,
and I find it saturates the red channel quite readily. There is detail
in the other channels. When that happens, I do one of two things. Using
a channel mixer adjustment layer, I reduce the red, and mix in a bit of
the blue and green channels on the red output channel (making sure the
overall sum adds up to 100).
Or just be done with it, and use channel mixer to make a B&W shot. But
this probably won't help you with your tulips.
