Creating Multipage TIFF image - FILE size is too large

Hi,

We are using Lead Tools Pro v 13 APIs in VC++. We have muliple images in various format. Images are Black and White and Gray Scale format. We want to convert it into Multiplage Tiff. I am using following function:

bool CMultiPageFile::SaveAsTiffImage(void* dump, int nBufferSize, const char* type)
{
   L_INT nRet; /* Return value */

   BITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;

   nRet = L_LoadBitmapMemory((char *)dump, &pBitmap, 0,  ORDER_BGRORGRAY, nBufferSize, NULL, NULL);
   
   if(nRet < 1)
   {
        _LOG( _FNL_, LGMessageLog::logError, "MultiPageFile::Error: %d", nRet);
        LogLeadToolError(nRet);

   } 
   nRet = L_SaveFile(TEXT("TempMultiPageFile.TIF"),
                     &pBitmap,
                     FILE_TIF_PACKBITS, 24, MC,
                     SAVEFILE_MULTIPAGE,
                     NULL,
                     NULL,
                     NULL);
   if (nRet < 1)
   {
    _LOG( _FNL_, LGMessageLog::logError, "MultiPageFile::Error: %d", nRet);
    LogLeadToolError(nRet);
   }

 return true;

}
The image saved on harddisk has size 334 KB which is large enough. I also tried to use FILE_TIF_J2K but L_SaveFile() is returning me error -541. Can you please tell me best method of compression? Will FILE_TIF_J2K give me best results? How can I get licence key to use FILE_TIF_J2K format?

Thanks, I tried using FILE_JTIF the size is now reduced to 200 KB. I have two images one is back & white and other is gray scale. Can I create a TIFF image with first page as CCITT Group4  and other page as FILE_JTIF?
