58 This software provides support for the
<i>Tag Image File Format
</i> (TIFF),
59 a widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of
60 the TIFF specification is
<a href=
"document.html">available on-line
</a>
61 in several different formats.
64 Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
65 reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
66 simple manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the
67 library and tools. Libtiff is a portable software, it was built
68 and tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris,
69 MacOS X), Windows, and OpenVMS. It should be possible to port
70 libtiff and additional tools on other OSes.
73 The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
74 your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on
32- and
64-bit
78 The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
81 Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:
82 <a href=
"mailto:tiff@lists.maptools.org">tiff@lists.maptools.org
</a>, with
83 a subscription interface at
