whenever i upload my photos onto my computer i have to adjust the brightness in like 98% of my photos. they all seem to be dull, like they r faded or somthing, and i have to press auto adjust brightness on most of em. i upload em in picture project coz it's quicker to go though each one and change them. they always look great on the camera, nice strong colours but when on my computer they r, well just not right. am i doing something wrong or do other people have this problem.

Why not download the Nikon View and use it, it's far better than PJ.
Or use NC, and they're both with more nice features to use.

LCD is decieving most of the time as it's bright. You might want to try custom curves. Also try these settings. Hue adjustment: -3, Colour mode: sRGB IIIa, Saturation: Enhanced.

The LCD is most definately deceiving and I never trust it.
