LibTiff Mailing List

Dear list,

I am a new user to libtiff.  The task I hope to accomplish is simply to
modify the XMP metadata of a TIFF leaving the other parts of the file
completely unchanged.  But I understand that libtiff will ignore any custom
tags which might be in the TIFF.  And I have seen warnings in this mailing
list about the 'blind copying of tags'.  So my concern is that while I am
reconstructing the other (non-XMP) portions of the original TIFF, that any
custom tags might be left out.  Could the list recommend an approach to
solving my problem?

Thanks very much,

Jeremy
