[Leica] LUG contest: image formats

[reid at mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

I don't strip out the EXIF data, because I want to display it after the 
contest has closed. I just don't display it in the contest website.

I hadn't noticed anything in EXIF that would identify the photographer. If 
there is, then I have to re-think this policy. Yes, there are a few people 
on the LUG who are both capable of and willing to do the steps needed to 
look at the EXIF data of an online image, but I was hoping that most 
wouldn't.

I did not write the software that manages this site. I adapted it from 
Gallery 2. The Gallery 2 software always displays JPEGs. I have it 
configured to use Quality=100 when it does that conversion. Although I 
haven't tested it, I believe from reading the code that if you make your own 
JPEG and arrange for it to be the right size, that it will use yours without 
further processing. If it fits inside a 640x640 box, then it won't get 
adjusted when you upload it, I believe.
