BOAC, sounds good to me up to the point where you try to view the result in the Nikon viewer. It is not unusual for JPG formats to differ (as mentioned above in my case of the Mac version being different from the PC format.) I suspect that the compression algorithm of the Nikon is special to hardware.
When you save your result after the PaintShop fiddle, try playing with the saving options.
Can the Nikon viewer accept any other formats such as "tif" or "gif" or "pcx" etc? And can you see other "jpg" pictures from other sources (such as the Web) in the Nikon viewer?
