iPhoto printing versus PS

I have a new Epson R200 photo printer. Strangely, if I print the very same JPG file, using the very same printer driver settings, from iPhoto and from Photoshop CS, the iPhoto image is darker.

Why is it doing this? Is this a PS setting that is doing this that I am not aware of? There appears to be no iPhoto setting to "adjust" an image before printing.

Thanks, Bill.

    Interesting... I've heard this before as well... I have an Epson R300 printer, and I've never used iPhoto, but several other posters have noticed something similar... I guess the answer is, just use PS? ;)

    I believe iPhoto uses your Colorsync prefs for color profiles, while PS uses whatever you have set in your prefs. I would check that out.
