My understanding is that you can only do random access of a compressed stripped image if rowsperstrip is 1. That's what the manpage for TIFFReadScanline() says anyway. I don't know what happens if you JPEG-compress and try setting rowsperstrip to 1, perhaps it does something clever. Anyway, the tiled mode is the one designed for random access, so (in my opinion) attempting random access of a stripped image is a bit dubious. John
