  I am a developer in c# and c++ and i am working on tiff images. But i am a problem when i try to save image (22000x9000 pixels and 30000x10000 pixels) i have an error "No space to output buffer".
How to save a large tiff file with libtiff?

Since you use C# perhaps you are a .net user. It is important to keep in mind that .net uses two heaps. There is a heap used for memory managed by .net and a heap used for traditional C/C++ malloc/new. These two heaps compete with each other so .net programs which use some traditional C (like libtiff) have less memory available to use than pure .net or pure C/malloc() type programs. Also keep in mind that .net uses garbage collection and sometimes the garbage collector needs some assistance with knowing when/what should be freed. It may take .net some time to destroy and object and the garbage collection is not triggered by "unsafe" C/C++ memory allocation.
