Do you have any "picture styles" turned on either in DPP or on the camera?

maybe there is a sharpness setting on the camera that got switched? I don't use picture styles, so not sure, and I've never adjusted my in camera sharpness settings... Love my 50D though...

Can you give an example of where you're seeing an apparent loss of sharpness?

When I load a pic of a bird in dpp I can see all the details in the feathers but when I convert it to Tiff 16 bit I loose lots of that detail ...
