I think I have a problem (Camera/Computer Different Pictures)

Have you tried pulling the card from the camera and uploading it using a reader?

I just tried that, didn't even thank about that before, although it did the same thing as before.

 

That takes the camera out of things.
Next go to My Computer and double click on the reader.
Right click on an image and click on Open With.
This should give you a list of all programs on your system that can open images.
Something there should open the image without messing with it's looks.
You could also try uploading an image to Photobucket from the reader.
If that works do a simple copy files from the reader to a new folder on your drive.
Past that, I'm lost right now.
There is a way to work around this.

 

I've tried every possible program, the reason that doesn't work is because it is already on the computer, the second it gets onto the computer it is a different image.

And I really was hoping that Photoshop way would work, but it didn't, I just tried it.
I thought you had it too! Darn.

Wow! That is really something. Thank you!
I could do that, but first I'm going to try every thing I can to see if I can get this picture thing to work.

 

Simple solution. If it gets messed up at the computer, then bypass it. Do direct reader uploads to photobucket. Use photobucket online editor so the photo is never actually stored on your computer.
Although I do feel like this isn't so much a problem of something is wrong. But I think it's just a case of images on a small monitor look better (LCD CAMERA) than pictures on a monitor. Pictures always look berry good on my camera screen, and NEVER look as good on my computer.
So, I went to the local wal-Mart, plugged my card into a picture machine and printed then straight off like that.

 

Already posted a few posts above this one that didn't work without editing it.
Sure I could edit it, it would take a little more, with photoshop I know exactly where to go and what to do and done within seconds.
Not that I'm lazy, hell, I've spent my whole day trying different things to find a way around this.
