Hi,

What does .NET have to read the compression technology used in a TIFF
file?

thx!

TIFF is a phenomenally huge specification that accepts just about every
possible combination of image ever invented. Unfortunately the GDI+
reader has a limited repertoire and will read a limited amount of TIFF
images.

It cannot read JPEG encoded TIFF for example.

For a broader range of capabilities see the .NET 3.0 image codecs

Our tiff files are black and white. So, i decided to use the Image
object and Image.FromFile method and then looked for a propertyId of
259. Then compared the value of the propertyItem at that index, for a
compression value i was looking for.
thanks,
Mars
