I especially like the image I made of a male Mallard duck at Botanica Gardens in Wichita, Kansas. However I messed up by editing it and accidently saving it in TIFF format rather than JPEG. After converting it back to JPEG in Windows Paint, I really like the detail on the ducks head. It was almost like he was putting on a show for me as the sun came up. What do you think about the importance of studying the histogram after each shot to make adjustments?

I never use Paint for that purpose, I will change file formats using Adobe Ps or ACR. I often use Paint to process a screen capture. There are many reasons I will screen capture.

What editor did you use to create the TIFF?
Can't you open the TIFF in that editor and save it as a JPEG?

Usually when I take a picture of a mallard male, that irridescent green, which is so beautiful, kind of throws off the exposure somehow...
Yours is super

A non-boring and aesthetically intriguing bird pic is a rare treat. Thanks for that !
FWIW, I’ll often do a “check and adjust” based on histograms but obviously some shots don’t linger long enough for that. Time permitting, I do find it worthwhile.
I’m not into ETTR. There’s real value in seeing the histogram without engaging in that method.
