<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.

Both <tt>"MM"</tt> and <tt>"II"</tt> byte orders are handled.

Editing is <b>not</b> supported in that related subfiles (e.g.
a reduced resolution version of an image) are not automatically
updated.

<p>
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".
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
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).
