I think I've found the solution. I was downloading photos
colors. However, it didn't appear to properly convert
them to a color space that gimp liked. When I download
don't need to be converted when I open them with gimp.
They seem to be the correct colors now. Phew! Thanks for
your help. All the questions got me moving in the right
direction. -- Felicia
