Re: Punch up those photos.......fast and easy.
No lab color in Elements. Can you describe what changing to that does? I have seen the reference in several threads but never asked up to this point.

From Photoshop Help
quote:
The Lab Color mode has a lightness component (L) that can range from 0 to 100. In the Adobe Color Picker, the a component (green-red axis) and the b component (blue-yellow axis) can range from +127 to –128. In the Color palette, the a component and the b component can range from +127 to –128.
You can use Lab mode to work with Photo CD images, edit the luminance and the color values in an image independently, move images between systems, and print to PostScript Level 2 and Level 3 printers. To print Lab images to other color PostScript devices, convert to CMYK first.
Lab images can be saved in Photoshop, Photoshop EPS, Large Document Format (PSB), Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, TIFF, Photoshop DCS 1.0, or Photoshop DCS 2.0 formats. You can save 48‑bit (16‑bits-per-channel) Lab images in Photoshop, Large Document Format (PSB), Photoshop PDF, Photoshop Raw, or TIFF formats.
Note: The DCS 1.0 and DCS 2.0 formats convert the file to CMYK when opened.
Lab color is the intermediate color model Photoshop uses when converting from one color mode to another.

Thanks for that but quite honestly, I still don't understand what it's use is. Why would you change from one color mode to another for instance?

clubs: | Some operations are are more efficient under different modes, for instance Postscript level 2 & 3 are supposed to better with LAB Mode, level 1 works better with CMYK Mode, monitor display outpu in RGB Mode, Commecial printing i CMYK Mode etc... |
