LEADTOOLS TIFF Format SDK
With LEADTOOLS .NET, WPF, Silverlight, C/C++ and web developers can load save and convert many different flavors of TIFF. All LEADTOOLS Imaging SDKs support TIFF.
Overview of TIFF Format SDK Technology
TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote the universal
interchange of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single
way to store image data, there are many versions or flavors
of TIFF. LEADTOOLS supports many different TIFF versions.
- Native 32 and 64 bit binaries to load, save, convert and compress TIFF files
- Add TIFF file support to single or multi-thread applications
- Extensive TIFF compression options including lossy and lossless, standard and proprietary:
- CCITT, CCITT G3 /G4, JBIG, JBIG2, ABIC, Packbits, LZW, CMP, JPEG,
JPEG 2000, ZIP, CMW,
ABC and MRC. - Single and multi-page TIFF files.
- Read, modify and save TIFF tags and comments.
- Flexible bit depth support including extended grayscale:
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64 bits per pixel.
- Flexible color space support:
- RGB, CYMK, YCC, YUV444, YUV422, YUV411
TIFF CCITT Files
TIFF files compressed with CCITT compression are the most common 1 bit image files used for fax transmission and document imaging.
- TIFF CCITT. Compressed TIFF files that are commonly used for FAX transmission and document imaging.
- TIFF CCITT Group 3. TIFF CCITT files in a format that is more
advanced and more compressed
than TIFF CCITT. LEADTOOLS supports both 1-dimension and 2-dimension variations of TIFF CCITT
Group 3. - TIFF CCITT Group 4. TIFF CCITT files in a format that is more
advanced and more compressed
than TIFF CCITT Group 3. - TIFF Class F. Class-F is the TIFF extension for fax documents.
LEADTOOLS supports Class-F
compatible tags.
EXIF Files
EXIF is a standard for image files created by digital cameras and other
image capturing devices. The standard set by the Japan Electronic Industry
Development Association. EXIF is formally named the Digital Still Camera
Image File Format Standard.
EXIF files may contain either uncompressed image data or compressed JPEG
image data. In addition, EXIF may contain metadata fields of various types
including a thumbnail stamp image.
LEADTOOLS supports the following flavors of EXIF:
- Uncompressed TIFF and RGB color space.
- Uncompressed TIFF and YCbCr color space.
- JPEG compression and YUV 4:2:2 color space.
- JPEG compression and YUV 4:1:1 color space.
TIFF-FX Files
TIFF-FX files are Internet Fax files developed and used by Xerox. TIFF-FX supports several types of compression. In addition, TIFF-FX can be extended as the need arises. LEADTOOLS supports the following modes of TIFF-FX:
- Minimal Black and White: Uses binary MH compression (T.4).
- Extended Black and White: Uses binary MH, MR and MMR compression (T.4 and T.6).
- Lossless JBIG Black and White: Uses JBIG compression (T.85, T.82).
- Lossy Color and Grayscale: Uses JPEG compression (T.42, T.81).
- Lossless Color and Grayscale: Uses JBIG compression (T.43, T.82).
GeoTIFF Files
GeoTIFF files are standard TIFF files that contain six specific data tags describing the image location, scale, projection, and GeoKeys which is additional information useful for topographic applications. LEADTOOLS includes functionality to:
- Enumerate GeoKeys that exist in a file. There are 65536 possible GeoKeys.
- Read and write specific GeoKeys.
