18 <h1>TIFF 6.0 Specification Coverage</h1>
19 <p>
20 The library is capable of dealing with images that are written to
21 follow the 5.0 or 6.0 TIFF spec. There is also considerable support
22 for some of the more esoteric portions of the 6.0 TIFF spec.

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

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

639 The Colorimetry, and CMYK tags are additions that appear in TIFF 6.0.
640 Consult the TIFF 6.0 specification included in the <b>doc</b> directory
641 and <a href="document.html">online</a>.

643 <p>
644 The JPEG-related tag is specified in
645 <a href="TIFFTechNote2.html">TIFF Technical Note #2</a> which defines
646 a revised JPEG-in-TIFF scheme (revised over that appendix that was
647 part of the TIFF 6.0 specification).
