TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single way to store image data, there are many versions of TIFF. LEADTOOLS supports the most common TIFF formats. The usual file extension is TIFF for single-image files, and MPT for multipage files (which can contain many images).
TIFF files can contain many comment fields of various types. You can use the LFile::ReadComment function to read comments in an existing file. Before writing a file, you can use the LFileSettings::SetComment function to create an array of comments to be saved in the file.
NOTE: To save a region inside a TIFF file, you must have an unlocked Vector, Document, or Medical Imaging license.
LEADTOOLS also supports the ability to save a vector image as a DXF within a TIFF.
LEAD supports loading and saving multi-page files in this format.
LEADTOOLS can read and write TIFF files that use RGB, CMYK, or YCbCr color space. LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with PackBits compression.
LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with Lossless JPEG compression for 8, 12, and 16-bit grayscale and 24-bit color spacing.
You can read and write 12- bit grayscale. (Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)
You can read and write 16- bit grayscale. (Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)
You can read and write 32- bit grayscale. (Document and Medical Imaging toolkits)
