It's not just that gallery. The whole web is built around images of 8 bits or
less. There may be specialty apps, but
standard browsers won't view a TIFF. Click on one and you get download options,
not a pretty picture to gaze at.
So the gallery had no choice but to convert it. Accepting TIFFs, PSDs, etc. is
just a convenience for the person
uploading images.
But you may indeed be seeing some subtle difference, as their conversion engine
may not do exactly the same thing as
your engine and settings. Best to get the JPEG as you like it, and upload that.
