    Find the icon you use to start the editor-  for many it’s the home screen with all the pretty pictures on it.
     



    PRESS AND HOLD YOUR LEFT SHIFT KEY.  Click on the icon that starts the editor.   Answer YES when prompted.


    IMMEDIATELY go to EDIT: COLOR SETTINGS:   Pick one that MAKES YOU HAPPY.  I just use the one that mentions “optimize for computer screen”

    I already use that color setting.

    But elements don't use the latest monitor profile (----.icm file, made with datacolor spyder calibration software), but an old corrupted profile.
