I have been using PSP for awhile and I am generally familiar with it - but using it for scrapbooking purposes is new to me. So I decided to play with a freebie template provided by Jasc to help me determine whether or not I want to buy the extras packages. I am pretty familiar with layers and what they can do. Now in a particular template - I pulled in my 2 photos, and merged the layers together, and my photo layers are set at 100% opacity, so there should be no meshing of the colors. It looks OK on screen, but when I print the merged file, what is happening is that the photos inside the frame of the layout are taking on the same color characteristics of the background paper. I just don't get it - what am I possibly doing wrong?? I can upload the file for others to see if necessary if someone can direct me where to upload to (I have both the .psp file with layers intact and the merged file).

Thanks for any help!!!
