screen saver improves images

[alsharp]

I'm running OS 10.4.8 on an older G5 ( dual 2Ghz processors 8Gb RAM) with a couple of older 24" apple flat panel cinema displays. I recently set up the screen saver to use images in the picture file. ( actually a great way to have a random slide show). The images look great; sharper, more vivid, better contrast. better in fact than they do when I've finished with them in Photoshop. Can someone tell me what the software does to the images so I can replicate it?
Thanks,

Try importing one into iPhoto and clicking "Edit" and then "Enhance." It probably has the same effect.

Sounds like you have Photoshop set up to run a different colour model. You can adjust this in PS's preferences.
