[Leica] OT: ACDSee oddities with JPEG B&W images

[richard-lists at imagecraft.com (Richard F. Man)]

I use ACDSee 5 and it displays color JPG in much less details and less 
saturation. It does this regardless of the color profiles used. Hence I 
only use ACDSee as a organizer and faster browser but not really to examine 
the pictures.
