For sharing original: I've got the original tiff from a scanned slide.
It is about 31MB tiff image. Then the photoshop adjusted jpeg which is
on flickr now. Was it the original you wanted to see (not photoshopped
but scanned using viewscan software)? Otherwise the original is on
flickr now and I've set the permissions to public.

It is possible that my workflow is the problem. I'm used to working in
photoshop and Lightroom under the winxp VM (I'm invested in the
programs so hard to abandon). Haven't really made the switch to DK
yet, though prefer it for some things so still use it for like
uploading to flickr - tagging, general viewing and searching. So these
recent Africa photos I did using photoshop and basically just adjusted
the curves a bit, took a little of the blue out of them as they are
scans from 30 year old slides, some sharpening.. etc. Nothing much in
the way of processing. When upload to flickr with DK export, it looks
like blue is back, the warming up I did is gone.

thanks, Jim
