I've tried everything I can think of: -gamma, -brightness, -conbright, -contrast, -equalize, -normalize, etc. But I can never get the file output by nConvert to match the quality of the file output by Photoshop Elements.

I dragged the same EPS file into Adobe Acrobat 7, and it created an image PDF that looked identical to the PNG produced by Photoshop. I dragged the same EPS file into Microsoft Word 2003 and the image in my Word document looked just like the dark dreary nConvert output files. When I open the EPS file in XnView, it also is dark and dreary and just doesn't look as good as the Photoshop version.
So I'm stumped. Do I have an ICC problem? Do I have a Ghostscript problem? Is it something else? And can any of nConvert's options be used to correct whatever is causing this problem.
