I just (finally) discovered that this problem is caused when the JPE
has codes embedding the color profile for my monitor (as opposed to
standard RGB profile, or none at all). For me, the embedding wa
related to JPEGs I created from Adobe Acrobat PDFs, but it's possibl
that some digital camera software is also embedding these codes. Here'
what I found that works:

_SOLUTION_A_--_Converting_the_embedded_profile_(and/or_using_other_software)_:

1) Download free graphics software such as Gimp.

2) When you open the file in Gimp, it will tell you if there is a
embedded color profile (mine had "HP L1910 LCD Monitor"), and Gimp wil
ask if you want to convert to RGB. Say YES.

3) If you don't want to use Gimp to process your picture, then Save th
converted file without any further action. (To really prove the tes
works, save under a new file name, so you can still compare to th
original file.)

4) Close the file and exit Gimp

5) Open the converted file in Office Picture Manager.

6) Make changes. You should now be able to save the edits.

---------------------

_SOLUTION_B_-_Fixing_Adobe_Acrobat_so_it_doesn't_embed_color_profiles_:

1) Launch Adobe Acrobat

2) In the menus, go to EDIT | PREFERENCES

3) Select "CONVERT FROM PDF" in the left-most preferences box

4) Click once to select "JPEG" from the "Converting from PDF" box

5) Click once to select "RGB Policy" in the right-most box. It likel
says "Embed Profile"

6) Click the "Edit Settings" button, and use the drop-down menus in th
COLOR MANAGEMENT section to change RGB and Grayscale to "OFF," the
click OK.

7) Repeat Steps 4-7 for "TIFF," "PNG" and any other photo file typ
settings that you use frequently.

8) Click OK to exit the Acrobat Preferences.

That should solve the problem going forward.

------------------

If your issue is unrelated to Adobe Acrobat, check your softwar
package that you use to download/save photos, or whatever software ma
be applicable. Perhaps you can locate the color profile embeddin
settings, and then switch it off
