You know this already but, if they (the converted RAWs) looked fine on your
home monitor where you did the work and now they look terrible on your work
monitor, it's 99.9% chance it's the work monitor. Mine at work is just crap
and there seems to be little adjustment that can be done to make it better.

Subject: Raw images need help. Flat, Dark.
Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 13:36:08 -0400
Recently went our for a walk at a local Conservation Area, cool, dark,
bit of rainy day.
- Shot everything in Raw.
- Back home, imported to PC,
- Raw to JPEG conversion via RSE primarily with the default settings.
- In Elements, added Name to corner,
- Exported to resize and reduce jpeg quality (to about 8)
- Uploaded them to the web
The pictures looked fine/ok on my pc at home during the Raw
Conversion, but now on my PC at work, they are dull, flat, dark, soft.
See here:

My home monitor is uncalibrated (as is my work monitor), but I'm still
surprised to see the images come out like this, as the images were
largely converted using defaults.
Any thoughts? Is this a:
Shooting problem?
Raw Workflow Problem?
Elements Export problem?
Monitor Problem?
or all of the above?
