I was reading on another digital site that photos taken to Walmart, Sams or Costco which use Frontier machines need the photo’s in sRGB for best results. Can this be obtained on elements? If so, how?

Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft propose the addition of support for a standard color space, sRGB, within the Microsoft operating systems, HP products, the Internet, and all other interested vendors.

Robert,
The sRGB color space is something of a standard space. It is not the best for printing to a photo inkjet, by any means, but it is probably the "safest" color space. To use it in Elements, set Edit > Color Settings to "limited color management" and you will be working in the sRGB colorspace and have the option when saving files to imbed that colorspace in the image.

Something of an education on the subject is available at <http://www.normankoren.com/color_management.html> .
