+DRAFT TIFF Technical Note #2				17-Mar-95
+============================
+
+This Technical Note describes serious problems that have been found in
+TIFF 6.0's design for embedding JPEG-compressed data in TIFF (Section 22
+of the TIFF 6.0 spec of 3 June 1992).  A replacement TIFF/JPEG
+specification is given.  Some corrections to Section 21 are also given.
+
+To permit TIFF implementations to continue to read existing files, the 6.0
+JPEG fields and tag values will remain reserved indefinitely.  However,
+TIFF writers are strongly discouraged from using the 6.0 JPEG design.  It
+is expected that the next full release of the TIFF specification will not
+describe the old design at all, except to note that certain tag numbers
+are reserved.  The existing Section 22 will be replaced by the
+specification text given in the second part of this Tech Note.
+
+
+Problems in TIFF 6.0 JPEG
+=========================
+
+Abandoning a published spec is not a step to be taken lightly.  This
+section summarizes the reasons that have forced this decision.
+TIFF 6.0's JPEG design suffers from design errors and limitations,
+ambiguities, and unnecessary complexity.
+
+
+Design errors and limitations
+-----------------------------
+
+The fundamental design error in the existing Section 22 is that JPEG's
+various tables and parameters are broken out as separate fields which the
+TIFF control logic must manage.  This is bad software engineering: that
+information should be treated as private to the JPEG codec
+(compressor/decompressor).  Worse, the fields themselves are specified
+without sufficient thought for future extension and without regard to
+well-established TIFF conventions.  Here are some of the significant
+problems:
+
+* The JPEGxxTable fields do not store the table data directly in the
+IFD/field structure; rather, the fields hold pointers to information
+elsewhere in the file.  This requires special-purpose code to be added to
+*every* TIFF-manipulating application, whether it needs to decode JPEG
+image data or not.  Even a trivial TIFF editor, for example a program to
+add an ImageDescription field to a TIFF file, must be explicitly aware of
+the internal structure of the JPEG-related tables, or else it will probably
+break the file.  Every other auxiliary field in the TIFF spec contains
+data, not pointers, and can be copied or relocated by standard code that
+doesn't know anything about the particular field.  This is a crucial
+property of the TIFF format that must not be given up.
+
+* To manipulate these fields, the TIFF control logic is required to know a
+great deal about JPEG details, for example such arcana as how to compute
+the length of a Huffman code table --- the length is not supplied in the
+field structure and can only be found by inspecting the table contents.
+This is again a violation of good software practice.  Moreover, it will
+prevent easy adoption of future JPEG extensions that might change these
+low-level details.
+
+* The design neglects the fact that baseline JPEG codecs support only two
+sets of Huffman tables: it specifies a separate table for each color
+component.  This implies that encoders must waste space (by storing
+duplicate Huffman tables) or else violate the well-founded TIFF convention
+that prohibits duplicate pointers.  Furthermore, baseline decoders must
+test to find out which tables are identical, a waste of time and code
+space.
+
+* The JPEGInterchangeFormat field also violates TIFF's proscription against
+duplicate pointers: the normal strip/tile pointers are expected to point
+into the larger data area pointed to by JPEGInterchangeFormat.  All TIFF
+editing applications must be specifically aware of this relationship, since
+they must maintain it or else delete the JPEGInterchangeFormat field.  The
+JPEGxxTables fields are also likely to point into the JPEGInterchangeFormat
+area, creating additional pointer relationships that must be maintained.
+
+* The JPEGQTables field is fixed at a byte per table entry; there is no
+way to support 16-bit quantization values.  This is a serious impediment
+to extending TIFF to use 12-bit JPEG.
+
+* The 6.0 design cannot support using different quantization tables in
+different strips/tiles of an image (so as to encode some areas at higher
+quality than others).  Furthermore, since quantization tables are tied
+one-for-one to color components, the design cannot support table switching
+options that are likely to be added in future JPEG revisions.
+
+
+Ambiguities
+-----------
+
+Several incompatible interpretations are possible for 6.0's treatment of
+JPEG restart markers:
+
+  * It is unclear whether restart markers must be omitted at TIFF segment
+    (strip/tile) boundaries, or whether they are optional.
+
+  * It is unclear whether the segment size is required to be chosen as
+    a multiple of the specified restart interval (if any); perhaps the
+    JPEG codec is supposed to be reset at each segment boundary as if
+    there were a restart marker there, even if the boundary does not fall
+    at a multiple of the nominal restart interval.
+
+  * The spec fails to address the question of restart marker numbering:
+    do the numbers begin again within each segment, or not?
+
+That last point is particularly nasty.  If we make numbering begin again
+within each segment, we give up the ability to impose a TIFF strip/tile
+structure on an existing JPEG datastream with restarts (which was clearly a
+goal of Section 22's authors).  But the other choice interferes with random
+access to the image segments: a reader must compute the first restart
+number to be expected within a segment, and must have a way to reset its
+JPEG decoder to expect a nonzero restart number first.  This may not even
+be possible with some JPEG chips.
+
+The tile height restriction found on page 104 contradicts Section 15's
+general description of tiles.  For an image that is not vertically
+downsampled, page 104 specifies a tile height of one MCU or 8 pixels; but
+Section 15 requires tiles to be a multiple of 16 pixels high.
+
+This Tech Note does not attempt to resolve these ambiguities, so
+implementations that follow the 6.0 design should be aware that
+inter-application compatibility problems are likely to arise.
+
+
+Unnecessary complexity
+----------------------
+
+The 6.0 design creates problems for implementations that need to keep the
+JPEG codec separate from the TIFF control logic --- for example, consider
+using a JPEG chip that was not designed specifically for TIFF.  JPEG codecs
+generally want to produce or consume a standard ISO JPEG datastream, not
+just raw compressed data.  (If they were to handle raw data, a separate
+out-of-band mechanism would be needed to load tables into the codec.)
+With such a codec, the TIFF control logic must parse JPEG markers emitted
+by the codec to create the TIFF table fields (when writing) or synthesize
+JPEG markers from the TIFF fields to feed the codec (when reading).  This
+means that the control logic must know a great deal more about JPEG details
+than we would like.  The parsing and reconstruction of the markers also
+represents a fair amount of unnecessary work.
+
+Quite a few implementors have proposed writing "TIFF/JPEG" files in which
+a standard JPEG datastream is simply dumped into the file and pointed to
+by JPEGInterchangeFormat.  To avoid parsing the JPEG datastream, they
+suggest not writing the JPEG auxiliary fields (JPEGxxTables etc) nor even
+the basic TIFF strip/tile data pointers.  This approach is incompatible
+with implementations that handle the full TIFF 6.0 JPEG design, since they
+will expect to find strip/tile pointers and auxiliary fields.  Indeed this
+is arguably not TIFF at all, since *all* TIFF-reading applications expect
+to find strip or tile pointers.  A subset implementation that is not
+upward-compatible with the full spec is clearly unacceptable.  However,
+the frequency with which this idea has come up makes it clear that
+implementors find the existing Section 22 too complex.
+
+
+Overview of the solution
+========================
+
+To solve these problems, we adopt a new design for embedding
+JPEG-compressed data in TIFF files.  The new design uses only complete,
+uninterpreted ISO JPEG datastreams, so it should be much more forgiving of
+extensions to the ISO standard.  It should also be far easier to implement
+using unmodified JPEG codecs.
+
+To reduce overhead in multi-segment TIFF files, we allow JPEG overhead
+tables to be stored just once in a JPEGTables auxiliary field.  This
+feature does not violate the integrity of the JPEG datastreams, because it
+uses the notions of "tables-only datastreams" and "abbreviated image
+datastreams" as defined by the ISO standard.
+
+To prevent confusion with the old design, the new design is given a new
+Compression tag value, Compression=7.  Readers that need to handle
+existing 6.0 JPEG files may read both old and new files, using whatever
+interpretation of the 6.0 spec they did before.  Compression tag value 6
+and the field tag numbers defined by 6.0 section 22 will remain reserved
+indefinitely, even though detailed descriptions of them will be dropped
+from future editions of the TIFF specification.
+
+
+Replacement TIFF/JPEG specification
+===================================
+
+[This section of the Tech Note is expected to replace Section 22 in the
+next release of the TIFF specification.]
+
+This section describes TIFF compression scheme 7, a high-performance
+compression method for continuous-tone images.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This TIFF compression method uses the international standard for image
+compression ISO/IEC 10918-1, usually known as "JPEG" (after the original
+name of the standards committee, Joint Photographic Experts Group).  JPEG
+is a joint ISO/CCITT standard for compression of continuous-tone images.
+
+The JPEG committee decided that because of the broad scope of the standard,
+no one algorithmic procedure was able to satisfy the requirements of all
+applications.  Instead, the JPEG standard became a "toolkit" of multiple
+algorithms and optional capabilities.  Individual applications may select
+a subset of the JPEG standard that meets their requirements.
+
+The most important distinction among the JPEG processes is between lossy
+and lossless compression.  Lossy compression methods provide high
+compression but allow only approximate reconstruction of the original
+image.  JPEG's lossy processes allow the encoder to trade off compressed
+file size against reconstruction fidelity over a wide range.  Typically,
+10:1 or more compression of full-color data can be obtained while keeping
+the reconstructed image visually indistinguishable from the original.  Much
+higher compression ratios are possible if a low-quality reconstructed image
+is acceptable.  Lossless compression provides exact reconstruction of the
+source data, but the achievable compression ratio is much lower than for
+the lossy processes; JPEG's rather simple lossless process typically
+achieves around 2:1 compression of full-color data.
+
+The most widely implemented JPEG subset is the "baseline" JPEG process.
+This provides lossy compression of 8-bit-per-channel data.  Optional
+extensions include 12-bit-per-channel data, arithmetic entropy coding for
+better compression, and progressive/hierarchical representations.  The
+lossless process is an independent algorithm that has little in
+common with the lossy processes.
+
+It should be noted that the optional arithmetic-coding extension is subject
+to several US and Japanese patents.  To avoid patent problems, use of
+arithmetic coding processes in TIFF files intended for inter-application
+interchange is discouraged.
+
+All of the JPEG processes are useful only for "continuous tone" data,
+in which the difference between adjacent pixel values is usually small.
+Low-bit-depth source data is not appropriate for JPEG compression, nor
+are palette-color images good candidates.  The JPEG processes work well
+on grayscale and full-color data.
+
+Describing the JPEG compression algorithms in sufficient detail to permit
+implementation would require more space than we have here.  Instead, we
+refer the reader to the References section.
+
+
+What data is being compressed?
+------------------------------
+
+In lossy JPEG compression, it is customary to convert color source data
+to YCbCr and then downsample it before JPEG compression.  This gives
+2:1 data compression with hardly any visible image degradation, and it
+permits additional space savings within the JPEG compression step proper.
+However, these steps are not considered part of the ISO JPEG standard.
+The ISO standard is "color blind": it accepts data in any color space.
+
+For TIFF purposes, the JPEG compression tag is considered to represent the
+ISO JPEG compression standard only.  The ISO standard is applied to the
+same data that would be stored in the TIFF file if no compression were
+used.  Therefore, if color conversion or downsampling are used, they must
+be reflected in the regular TIFF fields; these steps are not considered to
+be implicit in the JPEG compression tag value.  PhotometricInterpretation
+and related fields shall describe the color space actually stored in the
+file.  With the TIFF 6.0 field definitions, downsampling is permissible
+only for YCbCr data, and it must correspond to the YCbCrSubSampling field.
+(Note that the default value for this field is not 1,1; so the default for
+YCbCr is to apply downsampling!)  It is likely that future versions of TIFF
+will provide additional PhotometricInterpretation values and a more general
+way of defining subsampling, so as to allow more flexibility in
+JPEG-compressed files.  But that issue is not addressed in this Tech Note.
+
+Implementors should note that many popular JPEG codecs
+(compressor/decompressors) provide automatic color conversion and
+downsampling, so that the application may supply full-size RGB data which
+is nonetheless converted to downsampled YCbCr.  This is an implementation
+convenience which does not excuse the TIFF control layer from its
+responsibility to know what is really going on.  The
+PhotometricInterpretation and subsampling fields written to the file must
+describe what is actually in the file.
+
+A JPEG-compressed TIFF file will typically have PhotometricInterpretation =
+YCbCr and YCbCrSubSampling = [2,1] or [2,2], unless the source data was
+grayscale or CMYK.
+
+
+Basic representation of JPEG-compressed images
+----------------------------------------------
+
+JPEG compression works in either strip-based or tile-based TIFF files.
+Rather than repeating "strip or tile" constantly, we will use the term
+"segment" to mean either a strip or a tile.
+
+When the Compression field has the value 7, each image segment contains
+a complete JPEG datastream which is valid according to the ISO JPEG
+standard (ISO/IEC 10918-1).  Any sequential JPEG process can be used,
+including lossless JPEG, but progressive and hierarchical processes are not
+supported.  Since JPEG is useful only for continuous-tone images, the
+PhotometricInterpretation of the image shall not be 3 (palette color) nor
+4 (transparency mask).  The bit depth of the data is also restricted as
+specified below.
+
+Each image segment in a JPEG-compressed TIFF file shall contain a valid
+JPEG datastream according to the ISO JPEG standard's rules for
+interchange-format or abbreviated-image-format data.  The datastream shall
+contain a single JPEG frame storing that segment of the image.  The
+required JPEG markers within a segment are:
+	SOI	(must appear at very beginning of segment)
+	SOFn
+	SOS	(one for each scan, if there is more than one scan)
+	EOI	(must appear at very end of segment)
+The actual compressed data follows SOS; it may contain RSTn markers if DRI
+is used.
+
+Additional JPEG "tables and miscellaneous" markers may appear between SOI
+and SOFn, between SOFn and SOS, and before each subsequent SOS if there is
+more than one scan.  These markers include:
+	DQT
+	DHT
+	DAC	(not to appear unless arithmetic coding is used)
+	DRI
+	APPn	(shall be ignored by TIFF readers)
+	COM	(shall be ignored by TIFF readers)
+DNL markers shall not be used in TIFF files.  Readers should abort if any
+other marker type is found, especially the JPEG reserved markers;
+occurrence of such a marker is likely to indicate a JPEG extension.
+
+The tables/miscellaneous markers may appear in any order.  Readers are
+cautioned that although the SOFn marker refers to DQT tables, JPEG does not
+require those tables to precede the SOFn, only the SOS.  Missing-table
+checks should be made when SOS is reached.
+
+If no JPEGTables field is used, then each image segment shall be a complete
+JPEG interchange datastream.  Each segment must define all the tables it
+references.  To allow readers to decode segments in any order, no segment
+may rely on tables being carried over from a previous segment.
+
+When a JPEGTables field is used, image segments may omit tables that have
+been specified in the JPEGTables field.  Further details appear below.
+
+The SOFn marker shall be of type SOF0 for strict baseline JPEG data, of
+type SOF1 for non-baseline lossy JPEG data, or of type SOF3 for lossless
+JPEG data.  (SOF9 or SOF11 would be used for arithmetic coding.)  All
+segments of a JPEG-compressed TIFF image shall use the same JPEG
+compression process, in particular the same SOFn type.
+
+The data precision field of the SOFn marker shall agree with the TIFF
+BitsPerSample field.  (Note that when PlanarConfiguration=1, this implies
+that all components must have the same BitsPerSample value; when
+PlanarConfiguration=2, different components could have different bit
+depths.)  For SOF0 only precision 8 is permitted; for SOF1, precision 8 or
+12 is permitted; for SOF3, precisions 2 to 16 are permitted.
+
+The image dimensions given in the SOFn marker shall agree with the logical
+dimensions of that particular strip or tile.  For strip images, the SOFn
+image width shall equal ImageWidth and the height shall equal RowsPerStrip,
+except in the last strip; its SOFn height shall equal the number of rows
+remaining in the ImageLength.  (In other words, no padding data is counted
+in the SOFn dimensions.)  For tile images, each SOFn shall have width
+TileWidth and height TileHeight; adding and removing any padding needed in
+the edge tiles is the concern of some higher level of the TIFF software.
+(The dimensional rules are slightly different when PlanarConfiguration=2,
+as described below.)
+
+The ISO JPEG standard only permits images up to 65535 pixels in width or
+height, due to 2-byte fields in the SOFn markers.  In TIFF, this limits
+the size of an individual JPEG-compressed strip or tile, but the total
+image size can be greater.
+
+The number of components in the JPEG datastream shall equal SamplesPerPixel
+for PlanarConfiguration=1, and shall be 1 for PlanarConfiguration=2.  The
+components shall be stored in the same order as they are described at the
+TIFF field level.  (This applies both to their order in the SOFn marker,
+and to the order in which they are scanned if multiple JPEG scans are
+used.)  The component ID bytes are arbitrary so long as each component
+within an image segment is given a distinct ID.  To avoid any possible
+confusion, we require that all segments of a TIFF image use the same ID
+code for a given component.
+
+In PlanarConfiguration 1, the sampling factors given in SOFn markers shall
+agree with the sampling factors defined by the related TIFF fields (or with
+the default values that are specified in the absence of those fields).
+
+When DCT-based JPEG is used in a strip TIFF file, RowsPerStrip is required
+to be a multiple of 8 times the largest vertical sampling factor, i.e., a
+multiple of the height of an interleaved MCU.  (For simplicity of
+specification, we require this even if the data is not actually
+interleaved.)  For example, if YCbCrSubSampling = [2,2] then RowsPerStrip
+must be a multiple of 16.  An exception to this rule is made for
+single-strip images (RowsPerStrip >= ImageLength): the exact value of
+RowsPerStrip is unimportant in that case.  This rule ensures that no data
+padding is needed at the bottom of a strip, except perhaps the last strip.
+Any padding required at the right edge of the image, or at the bottom of
+the last strip, is expected to occur internally to the JPEG codec.
+
+When DCT-based JPEG is used in a tiled TIFF file, TileLength is required
+to be a multiple of 8 times the largest vertical sampling factor, i.e.,
+a multiple of the height of an interleaved MCU; and TileWidth is required
+to be a multiple of 8 times the largest horizontal sampling factor, i.e.,
+a multiple of the width of an interleaved MCU.  (For simplicity of
+specification, we require this even if the data is not actually
+interleaved.)  All edge padding required will therefore occur in the course
+of normal TIFF tile padding; it is not special to JPEG.
+
+Lossless JPEG does not impose these constraints on strip and tile sizes,
+since it is not DCT-based.
+
+Note that within JPEG datastreams, multibyte values appear in the MSB-first
+order specified by the JPEG standard, regardless of the byte ordering of
+the surrounding TIFF file.
+
+
+JPEGTables field
+----------------
+
+The only auxiliary TIFF field added for Compression=7 is the optional
+JPEGTables field.  The purpose of JPEGTables is to predefine JPEG
+quantization and/or Huffman tables for subsequent use by JPEG image
+segments.  When this is done, these rather bulky tables need not be
+duplicated in each segment, thus saving space and processing time.
+JPEGTables may be used even in a single-segment file, although there is no
+space savings in that case.
+
+JPEGTables:
+	Tag = 347 (15B.H)
+	Type = UNDEFINED
+	N = number of bytes in tables datastream, typically a few hundred
+JPEGTables provides default JPEG quantization and/or Huffman tables which
+are used whenever a segment datastream does not contain its own tables, as
+specified below.
+
+Notice that the JPEGTables field is required to have type code UNDEFINED,
+not type code BYTE.  This is to cue readers that expanding individual bytes
+to short or long integers is not appropriate.  A TIFF reader will generally
+need to store the field value as an uninterpreted byte sequence until it is
+fed to the JPEG decoder.
+
+Multibyte quantities within the tables follow the ISO JPEG convention of
+MSB-first storage, regardless of the byte ordering of the surrounding TIFF
+file.
+
+When the JPEGTables field is present, it shall contain a valid JPEG
+"abbreviated table specification" datastream.  This datastream shall begin
+with SOI and end with EOI.  It may contain zero or more JPEG "tables and
+miscellaneous" markers, namely:
+	DQT
+	DHT
+	DAC	(not to appear unless arithmetic coding is used)
+	DRI
+	APPn	(shall be ignored by TIFF readers)
+	COM	(shall be ignored by TIFF readers)
+Since JPEG defines the SOI marker to reset the DAC and DRI state, these two
+markers' values cannot be carried over into any image datastream, and thus
+they are effectively no-ops in the JPEGTables field.  To avoid confusion,
+it is recommended that writers not place DAC or DRI markers in JPEGTables.
+However readers must properly skip over them if they appear.
+
+When JPEGTables is present, readers shall load the table specifications
+contained in JPEGTables before processing image segment datastreams.
+Image segments may simply refer to these preloaded tables without defining
+them.  An image segment can still define and use its own tables, subject to
+the restrictions below.
+
+An image segment may not redefine any table defined in JPEGTables.  (This
+restriction is imposed to allow readers to process image segments in random
+order without having to reload JPEGTables between segments.)  Therefore, use
+of JPEGTables divides the available table slots into two groups: "global"
+slots are defined in JPEGTables and may be used but not redefined by
+segments; "local" slots are available for local definition and use in each
+segment.  To permit random access, a segment may not reference any local
+tables that it does not itself define.
+
+
+Special considerations for PlanarConfiguration 2
+------------------------------------------------
+
+In PlanarConfiguration 2, each image segment contains data for only one
+color component.  To avoid confusing the JPEG codec, we wish the segments
+to look like valid single-channel (i.e., grayscale) JPEG datastreams.  This
+means that different rules must be used for the SOFn parameters.
+
+In PlanarConfiguration 2, the dimensions given in the SOFn of a subsampled
+component shall be scaled down by the sampling factors compared to the SOFn
+dimensions that would be used in PlanarConfiguration 1.  This is necessary
+to match the actual number of samples stored in that segment, so that the
+JPEG codec doesn't complain about too much or too little data.  In strip
+TIFF files the computed dimensions may need to be rounded up to the next
+integer; in tiled files, the restrictions on tile size make this case
+impossible.
+
+Furthermore, all SOFn sampling factors shall be given as 1.  (This is
+merely to avoid confusion, since the sampling factors in a single-channel
+JPEG datastream have no real effect.)
+
+Any downsampling will need to happen externally to the JPEG codec, since
+JPEG sampling factors are defined with reference to the full-precision
+component.  In PlanarConfiguration 2, the JPEG codec will be working on
+only one component at a time and thus will have no reference component to
+downsample against.
+
+
+Minimum requirements for TIFF/JPEG
+----------------------------------
+
+ISO JPEG is a large and complex standard; most implementations support only
+a subset of it.  Here we define a "core" subset of TIFF/JPEG which readers
+must support to claim TIFF/JPEG compatibility.  For maximum
+cross-application compatibility, we recommend that writers confine
+themselves to this subset unless there is very good reason to do otherwise.
+
+Use the ISO baseline JPEG process: 8-bit data precision, Huffman coding,
+with no more than 2 DC and 2 AC Huffman tables.  Note that this implies
+BitsPerSample = 8 for each component.  We recommend deviating from baseline
+JPEG only if 12-bit data precision or lossless coding is required.
+
+Use no subsampling (all JPEG sampling factors = 1) for color spaces other
+than YCbCr.  (This is, in fact, required with the TIFF 6.0 field
+definitions, but may not be so in future revisions.)  For YCbCr, use one of
+the following choices:
+	YCbCrSubSampling field		JPEG sampling factors
+	1,1				1h1v, 1h1v, 1h1v
+	2,1				2h1v, 1h1v, 1h1v
+	2,2  (default value)		2h2v, 1h1v, 1h1v
+We recommend that RGB source data be converted to YCbCr for best compression
+results.  Other source data colorspaces should probably be left alone.
+Minimal readers need not support JPEG images with colorspaces other than
+YCbCr and grayscale (PhotometricInterpretation = 6 or 1).
+
+A minimal reader also need not support JPEG YCbCr images with nondefault
+values of YCbCrCoefficients or YCbCrPositioning, nor with values of
+ReferenceBlackWhite other than [0,255,128,255,128,255].  (These values
+correspond to the RGB<=>YCbCr conversion specified by JFIF, which is widely
+implemented in JPEG codecs.)
+
+Writers are reminded that a ReferenceBlackWhite field *must* be included
+when PhotometricInterpretation is YCbCr, because the default
+ReferenceBlackWhite values are inappropriate for YCbCr.
+
+If any subsampling is used, PlanarConfiguration=1 is preferred to avoid the
+possibly-confusing requirements of PlanarConfiguration=2.  In any case,
+readers are not required to support PlanarConfiguration=2.
+
+If possible, use a single interleaved scan in each image segment.  This is
+not legal JPEG if there are more than 4 SamplesPerPixel or if the sampling
+factors are such that more than 10 blocks would be needed per MCU; in that
+case, use a separate scan for each component.  (The recommended color
+spaces and sampling factors will not run into that restriction, so a
+minimal reader need not support more than one scan per segment.)
+
+To claim TIFF/JPEG compatibility, readers shall support multiple-strip TIFF
+files and the optional JPEGTables field; it is not acceptable to read only
+single-datastream files.  Support for tiled TIFF files is strongly
+recommended but not required.
+
+
+Other recommendations for implementors
+--------------------------------------
+
+The TIFF tag Compression=7 guarantees only that the compressed data is
+represented as ISO JPEG datastreams.  Since JPEG is a large and evolving
+standard, readers should apply careful error checking to the JPEG markers
+to ensure that the compression process is within their capabilities.  In
+particular, to avoid being confused by future extensions to the JPEG
+standard, it is important to abort if unknown marker codes are seen.
+
+The point of requiring that all image segments use the same JPEG process is
+to ensure that a reader need check only one segment to determine whether it
+can handle the image.  For example, consider a TIFF reader that has access
+to fast but restricted JPEG hardware, as well as a slower, more general
+software implementation.  It is desirable to check only one image segment
+to find out whether the fast hardware can be used.  Thus, writers should
+try to ensure that all segments of an image look as much "alike" as
+possible: there should be no variation in scan layout, use of options such
+as DRI, etc.  Ideally, segments will be processed identically except
+perhaps for using different local quantization or entropy-coding tables.
+
+Writers should avoid including "noise" JPEG markers (COM and APPn markers).
+Standard TIFF fields provide a better way to transport any non-image data.
+Some JPEG codecs may change behavior if they see an APPn marker they
+think they understand; since the TIFF spec requires these markers to be
+ignored, this behavior is undesirable.
+
+It is possible to convert an interchange-JPEG file (e.g., a JFIF file) to
+TIFF simply by dropping the interchange datastream into a single strip.
+(However, designers are reminded that the TIFF spec discourages huge
+strips; splitting the image is somewhat more work but may give better
+results.)  Conversion from TIFF to interchange JPEG is more complex.  A
+strip-based TIFF/JPEG file can be converted fairly easily if all strips use
+identical JPEG tables and no RSTn markers: just delete the overhead markers
+and insert RSTn markers between strips.  Converting tiled images is harder,
+since the data will usually not be in the right order (unless the tiles are
+only one MCU high).  This can still be done losslessly, but it will require
+undoing and redoing the entropy coding so that the DC coefficient
+differences can be updated.
+
+There is no default value for JPEGTables: standard TIFF files must define all
+tables that they reference.  For some closed systems in which many files will
+have identical tables, it might make sense to define a default JPEGTables
+value to avoid actually storing the tables.  Or even better, invent a
+private field selecting one of N default JPEGTables settings, so as to allow
+for future expansion.  Either of these must be regarded as a private
+extension that will render the files unreadable by other applications.

+Changes to Section 21: YCbCr Images
+===================================
+
+[This section of the Tech Note clarifies section 21 to make clear the
+interpretation of image dimensions in a subsampled image.  Furthermore,
+the section is changed to allow the original image dimensions not to be
+multiples of the sampling factors.  This change is necessary to support use
+of JPEG compression on odd-size images.]
+
+Add the following paragraphs to the Section 21 introduction (p. 89),
+just after the paragraph beginning "When a Class Y image is subsampled":
+
+	In a subsampled image, it is understood that all TIFF image
+	dimensions are measured in terms of the highest-resolution
+	(luminance) component.  In particular, ImageWidth, ImageLength,
+	RowsPerStrip, TileWidth, TileLength, XResolution, and YResolution
+	are measured in luminance samples.
+
+	RowsPerStrip, TileWidth, and TileLength are constrained so that
+	there are an integral number of samples of each component in a
+	complete strip or tile.  However, ImageWidth/ImageLength are not
+	constrained.  If an odd-size image is to be converted to subsampled
+	format, the writer should pad the source data to a multiple of the
+	sampling factors by replication of the last column and/or row, then
+	downsample.  The number of luminance samples actually stored in the
+	file will be a multiple of the sampling factors.  Conversely,
+	readers must ignore any extra data (outside the specified image
+	dimensions) after upsampling.
+
+	When PlanarConfiguration=2, each strip or tile covers the same
+	image area despite subsampling; that is, the total number of strips
+	or tiles in the image is the same for each component.  Therefore
+	strips or tiles of the subsampled components contain fewer samples
+	than strips or tiles of the luminance component.
+
+	If there are extra samples per pixel (see field ExtraSamples),
+	these data channels have the same number of samples as the
+	luminance component.
+
+Rewrite the YCbCrSubSampling field description (pp 91-92) as follows
+(largely to eliminate possibly-misleading references to
+ImageWidth/ImageLength of the subsampled components):
+
+	(first paragraph unchanged)
+
+	The two elements of this field are defined as follows:
+
+	Short 0: ChromaSubsampleHoriz:
+
+	1 = there are equal numbers of luma and chroma samples horizontally.
+
+	2 = there are twice as many luma samples as chroma samples
+	horizontally.
+
+	4 = there are four times as many luma samples as chroma samples
+	horizontally.
+
+	Short 1: ChromaSubsampleVert:
+
+	1 = there are equal numbers of luma and chroma samples vertically.
+
+	2 = there are twice as many luma samples as chroma samples
+	vertically.
+
+	4 = there are four times as many luma samples as chroma samples
+	vertically.
+
+	ChromaSubsampleVert shall always be less than or equal to
+	ChromaSubsampleHoriz.  Note that Cb and Cr have the same sampling
+	ratios.
+
+	In a strip TIFF file, RowsPerStrip is required to be an integer
+	multiple of ChromaSubSampleVert (unless RowsPerStrip >=
+	ImageLength, in which case its exact value is unimportant).
+	If ImageWidth and ImageLength are not multiples of
+	ChromaSubsampleHoriz and ChromaSubsampleVert respectively, then the
+	source data shall be padded to the next integer multiple of these
+	values before downsampling.
+
+	In a tiled TIFF file, TileWidth must be an integer multiple of
+	ChromaSubsampleHoriz and TileLength must be an integer multiple of
+	ChromaSubsampleVert.  Padding will occur to tile boundaries.
+
+	The default values of this field are [ 2,2 ].  Thus, YCbCr data is
+	downsampled by default!
