<p>
This software provides support for the <i>Tag Image File Format</i> (TIFF),
a widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of
the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a>
in several different formats.

Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
simple manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the
library and tools. Libtiff is a portable software, it was built
and tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris,
MacOS X), Windows, and OpenVMS. It should be possible to port
libtiff and additional tools on other OSes.
2005-12-27 20:17:57 -05:00
</p>
<p>
The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
2011-04-09 17:01:00 -04:00
machines.

<p>
The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
