We would probably have to know what steps you have taken to
set up your color management to get a handle on the issues.
Getting everything to be consistent between devices, cameras,
monitor profile, work color space, monitor calibration, printer
profiles, and so on.
The Olympus software is really slow to work with. The latest PS
CS2 raw converter, (and others like RawShooter Essentials) greatly
improve on the speed. PS will automatically correct for the
various color profiles. Did you shoot in Adobe or sRGB. It is a
step by step process that has to get right or everything will be all
over the map. Without knowing what color space and color profiles
each thing is working with, it would be hard to diagnose.
Once you get this down, things will smooth out a lot. But this is the
most frustrating part of the digital workflow to get right.
