[Leica] IMG: Field Poppies - where did the detailgo/over-saturation?

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

Douglas,

I have dabbled in this area also.  What I found was that, even if I upload 
the image as a tiff file, the Gallery software converts it to a jpeg.  If 
you right click on your Gallery images, you will find that both are 
displayed as 800 x701 jpeg images.  The path you used to get there doesn't 
seem to make much difference.
