Subject: [Leica] Vuescan and dng scans

The DNG and Tiff versions of the file should be very similar since the
DNG is just a Tiff with a bit of other stuff wrapped around it.
Perhaps your tiff version is monochrome or a different resolution?

If you want to go the DNG route I might recommend either scanning to
tiff, do your spotting and basic corrections on it, and then convert
to DNG, or just use ACR directly on the tiff.  Not sure if Lightroom
can be made to work on tiffs.
