What is the difference in quality that you are seeing? Are the colors different? Are they muted? Are the levels different?
AE 5.5 does not have any color management features (at least not like CS3) and so if the Photoshop file has an embedded color profile that is being interpreted for display in Photoshop, when it is opened in AE, that color profile will be ignored and the colors may look completely different.
You might want to start by opening the file in Photoshop and converting it’s color profile to sRGB IEC61996 or Adobe RGB 1998.
If your photoshop file is in CMYK, you will see really extreme color problems in AE. You should convert any CMYK files to RGB before working with them in AE 5.5.
If this doesn’t solve your problem, please give us more information about what you are seeing and perhaps someone will have the right answer for you.
Hope this helps,
Lars
