This is a link to a PDF that contains two sets of captures compiled in CD all as sRGB.
Top row is PSD bottom row is PP, left to right is PP auto adjust, center original scan and right is PSD using under the adjust menu color/fade correction, which is far more flexible then PP's auto correct, a great tool. This was a quick 10 second correction test.
Please not that the texture in the PP display verses the PSP display. Some would argue that this is incorrect, I would state for a fact that the texture is there and is a serious issue that WOULD CAUSE A MORIE when printed. PP allows you to see this easily and correct it, between PP, PS and PSP the sharpness of display is best from PP then PS then PSP. Thi smakes press work in PSP X3 and issue since we are seeing texture issue show up a good deal of PS work today.
This is one of my arguments to point out that having both applications has great value.

Sorry top row is PSP X3
Hi David,
I am a little confused with what is what. The top row is PSP and the bottom PP. The top left image is PSP's Fade Correction, the bottom left is PP's Auto Adjust. The centre images are the original scan, but what are the right hand side images?
Looking at the left hand side images - PSP's fade correction is clearly better than the Auto Adjust feature in PP. I must admit that I rarely ever use Auto Adjust in PP. I sometimes try it quickly, but most of the time end up hitting Ctrl+Z and manually adjusting things. By the way, the groom in that photo looks very familiar.
Best regards,Brian.
Left is PS right is PP. Top row is creen capture of PSP display and bottom row is screen capture of PP display

On a my high quality CRT the PP display realy shows the texture problems in the PP display which is great because they are really there.
Thanks for clarifying that, David. Do the scan lines/texture lines show in PP at 100%? Gee, it would be a bit of a shock looking at what appeared to be a clean image (in PSP) to then get a load of lines on your print when outputting. I think we really are spoilt by PP. You have got me going now, I am really interested in finding some faded images and seeing what I can do with them in PP. It is a long time since I "restored" any old photos. Software has gone a long way since then.
I am on holiday until mid-January and I am not planning to go anywhere, so I have lots of time to play around with things now.

PSP Xs's display is in my opinion too soft, the image would print with problems, with that said at higher magnifications you do see some of the issues but in PP they pop off the page.
