I notice when I print photos using iPhoto the results are good, but when the
same photo is printed using PhotoShop Elements 2, the colors are washed out
and muddy-looking. Can anyone explain this? Also, why do the photos look
much sharper on the screen than in print?

I don't know anything about PS Element, but if you check the
documentation for monitor or printer calibration, you'll probably find
the answer to your question.

As Stan suggested, it will be related to calibration, Check out Color
Settings in Help. In Elements 3 there is a menu item with that name in
the first menu.

It is of the nature of screen displayed images that they look good at
low resolutions. Your screen is going to be less than 100 pixels per
inch (and probably look great) but for good quality photgraphic prints
you want to aim for around 300 dots per inch.

I think it's more likely that iPhoto is defaulting to using glossy photo
paper settings while PS Elements is using plain paper settings.

Thanks for the info. Where in PS Elements can I change paper settings? I
only see a choice of paper sizes.
