Thanks Dan and John.
Thought that would be the outcome.
I do have a LG ips but due to the small space i live in laptop/monitor live on fold down tables which i have to put away after use,so a lot of the time i dont use the LG.
I also made the mistake of connecting the LG before loading the software as it is plug and play on WINDOWS 7, now the only thinks i can tweek are the brightness etc no colours or picture modes, i have removed the software and loaded again but makes no difference
I have used the LG for prints and found them to be dark compered to the screen, i will do some tests to find out how light they need to look on the screen to print out correctly.
I have also noticed shots taken indoors look fine on the laptop but shoots taken outdoors dont show the same colours as they do on the screen eg trees with green bark, but if you leave them 24hrs then look at them outside they look spot on (i can check this as the trees are outside the back of my flat) but look at them indoors and they dont look as good again, which just shows pictures need to be viewed in the right enviroment or is that just my excuse for taking poor shots.
Thanks for both your imput.
Regards
Dave

Daft ? coming up.
How do you calibrate a laptop screen, when it changes colour with the angle of the screen.

i print loading the picture into elements and then >file>print and a window opens to adjust all the settings. i have stylus photo px650 and r1800 they give 360 when i select premium semigloss paper and this is perfectly fine, they select 720 when plain paper is the option. i know when doing some prints at college for public exhibition they were all done on A3 at 300dpi and they were great. hope this helps
Thanks REDBUSA99

THanks again
David
I set the prints to 300ppi to print.
I can not seem to open epson easy photo print. i just get a pale blue and white box with nothing in it if i click to close, a windows box appears and i have to click that to close the epson window.
I might try removing all the epson soft ware reloading and see if that works, but with my luck the printer wont work at all.
Under the EPSON advanced tab it just has PHOTO or PHOTO RPM (MAX DPI)it does not have any numbers. Even if i just use the epson boxes with none of the Photo Elements options it still only prints AT 720dpi.

Dave

Thanks David
In photo elements FILE/PRINT/CHANGE SETTINGS/PHOTO PAPER it appears not to mater which grade you still end up with 720dpi. PAPER SIZE/CLICK ADVANCED SETTINGS/EPSON BOX OPENS/CLICK BEST PHOTO BUTTON/CLICK ADVANCED TAB/CLICK ICM BUTTON/CLICK OK/CLOSE CHANGE SETTINGS BOX/CLICK MORE OPTIONS BOTTOM LEFT/CLICK COLOR MANAGMENT/COLOR HANDLING-(PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS COLOR)/IMAGE SPACE-(ADOBE RGB 199/PRINT PROFILE-(WORKING RGB-ADOBE RGB 199/RENDERING INTENT-(RELETIVE COLORMETRIC) CLICK OK.
You then go back to the box with your photo in the middle. to the right are drop down boxses 1 PRINTER/2 PRINTER SETTINGS THIS HAS THE PAPER TYPE AND PRINT QUALITY SETTINGS which is set at 720dpi for photo paper or 360dpi for plain print paper.
