It is pretty normal for DSS to make the pic look more white (I'm guessing that is what you mean by worse). You will need a photo editing program to control the "levels and curves" which can bring the background back to black etc.

I've done a quick search for a editing tutorial that might help you see the advantage. http://myastroimages.com/Astro_Imagi...toShop_Curves/
