More and by hell, we have a real language problem here. I really don't understand what you're saying. I've been toying with the idea of adding a small interface on top of TIFFReadEncodedXxx. This small interface should be named TIFFReadSubsampledXxx. It will first call TIFFReadEncodedXxx, and if subsampling is in effect, it will de-subsample the data. It should be a valid call even if no subsampling is in effect, in which case it returns immediatelly after calling TIFFReadEncodedXxx. This way, people will not have to worry about subsampling if they just remember to call TIFFReadSubsampledXxx where they used to call TIFFReadEncodedXxx. It is in the proper position, i.e. it is independent of the compression or color mode used, works on JPEG compressed YCbCr as well as on flate compressed CIELAB or whatever. Is this what you are asking after?
