Hi,
Thanks for the reply,

I further have a doubt,
1. How does the bits per sample cases of 1,4 or 5 are handled by the libtiff 
library? Does the readstrip/readtile functions return the data, such that, the 
pixel values are always packed in byte boundaries?

i.e. for bits per sample case of 4, are two pixel values clubbed into one byte 
or one byte always contains one pixel value only?
Or lets say for bits per sample case of 5 or 9, a pixel value is contained in a 
byte or a word respectively.
  
2. Does the same scheme (as for readstrip/readtile) applies for 
writestrip/writetile functions?

Thanks,
Mayank
