What also seems to have confused Mohamad is the indirection that TIFF uses for tag values. He seems not to have understood that libtiff abstracts this away, so that he doesn't have worry about offsets; only to specify the values. But it's not yet clear whether his file is being written with the resolution he intends or not; IMO he should check that with an inspection tool like tiffinfo/tiffdump. Mohamad, you could also try pasting a code snippet here. --Toby > > Hope this helps > > Kind regards, > mikk
