2005.12.22 19:22 "filtering TIFF tags", by Chris Losinger
is there any mechansim built into LibTiff to prevent it from reading all tags into memory when you do a TIFFSetDirectory ? some applications store gigantic quantities of image meta-data in certain tags, and LibTiff happily allocates gigantic quantities of RAM to store this tag data, when all I really want is to query the image dimension or DPI tags. i see the TIFFReassignTagToIgnore function, but i'm not sure it actually does anything... the arrays it fills aren't used anywhere. -c __________________________ Chris Losinger Smaller Animals Software, Inc. http://www.smalleranimals.com
