Subject: [Leica] Gallery doesn't handle scanned slides-HELP!

Howard,

Everything I upload to the gallery is sized 1,024 pixels in the long
dimension, at 100 ppi, jpg level 8 or greater.  I convert the color space to
Srgb, though I don't see any difference between that and Adobe RGB.  It
works fine for a small image.  I don't think it matters whether the file is
a scan or a digital capture.  When you say convert to jpg, do you just save
the file as a jpg?  I have a directory titled "image upload" where I save a
copy as a jpg with the above settings.

Ken
