62 This software provides support for the
<i>Tag Image File Format
</i> (TIFF),
63 a widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of
64 the TIFF specification is
<a href=
"document.html">available on-line
</a>
65 in several different formats.
68 Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
69 reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing simple
70 manipulations of TIFF images on UNIX systems,
71 and documentation on the library and
72 tools. A small assortment of TIFF-related software for UNIX
73 that has been contributed by others is also included.
76 The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
77 your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on
32- and
64-bit
78 machines. This software can also be used on older
16-bit systems
79 though it may require some effort and you may need to leave out some of
80 the compression support.
83 The software was orginally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler.
84 While he keeps a fatherly eye on the mailing list, he is no longer
85 responsible for day to day maintenance.
88 Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:
89 <a href=
"mailto:tiff@lists.maptools.org">tiff@lists.maptools.org
</a>, with
90 a subscription interface at
91 <a href=

</a>.
