<h1>TIFF 6.0 Specification Coverage</h1>

<p>
|
|
The library is capable of dealing with images that are written to
|
|
follow the 5.0 or 6.0 TIFF spec. There is also considerable support
|
|
for some of the more esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec.

a reduced resolution version of an image) are not automatically

The <tt>Matteing</tt> and <tt>DataType</tt>
|
|
tags have been obsoleted by the 6.0
|
|
<tt>ExtraSamples</tt> and <tt>SampleFormat</tt> tags.
|
|
Consult the documentation on the
|
|
<tt>ExtraSamples</tt> tag and Associated Alpha for elaboration. Note however
|
|
that if you use Associated Alpha, you are expected to save data that is
|
|
pre-multipled by Alpha. If this means nothing to you, check out
|
|
Porter & Duff's paper in the '84 SIGGRAPH proceedings: "Compositing Digital
|
|
Images".

|
|
The <tt>ImageDepth</tt>
|
|
tag is a non-standard, but registered tag that specifies
|
|
the Z-dimension of volumetric data. The combination of <tt>ImageWidth</tt>,
|
|
<tt>ImageLength</tt>, and <tt>ImageDepth</tt>,
|
|
defines a 3D volume of pixels that are
|
|
further specified by <tt>BitsPerSample</tt> and
|
|
<tt>SamplesPerPixel</tt>. The <tt>TileDepth</tt>
|
|
tag (also non-standard, but registered) can be used to specified a
|
|
subvolume "tiling" of a volume of data.
|

|
The Colorimetry, and CMYK tags are additions that appear in TIFF 6.0.
|
|
Consult the TIFF 6.0 specification included in the <b>doc</b> directory
|
|
and <a href="document.html">online</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The JPEG-related tag is specified in
|
|
<a href="TIFFTechNote2.html">TIFF Technical Note #2</a> which defines
|
|
a revised JPEG-in-TIFF scheme (revised over that appendix that was
|
|
part of the TIFF 6.0 specification).
