TIFF Tools Overview

Since LibTIFF version 4.6.0 only five tools are suported. Two tools can be built as unsupported into directory tools/unsupported. The source code of the other tools is moved to directory archive/tools/. This source code still serves as a programming example for the use of the TIFF library.

tiffcp	Copy, concatenate, and convert TIFF images (e.g. switching from Compression=5 to Compression=1)

tiffinfo	Display information about one or more TIFF files
tiffset	Set a field in a TIFF header
tiffsplit	Create one or more single-image files from a (possibly) multi-image file
