Hi,

I am wondering what happens if I have, say, a tag with a count of 4 and type byte. Should I store the values directly there, or if the count is more than one should I always point somewhere else? I understand from the standard that if it can fit then you put it in the offset, but I would like to make sure. I am writing a few VB classes to give me very tight control over the position of the constituent components in a tiff file and want to make sure I don't do silly things when rewriting the file...

Cheers
Antoine
