Jim,

You're right -I just looked at the image info.

That seems to infer that the conversion in the gallery 
works better than in Lightroom, because the  "what I 
thought was .tiff"
image looks a tad better then the jpeg from the same 
raw file.

Next steps:

  1. Convert the RAW file in Photoshop and export as 
jpeg - should be the same as LR)
  2. in Canon Digital Photo Professional (from the 
Canon 20D bundle)
  3. in Magix (xara) Photo & Graphic Designer (haven't 
installed the trial yet - but it sounds quite good)

Let's see if there are any differences in the 
conversion algorithms.:-)

Cheers
Douglas
