Setting TIFFTAG_PREDICTOR to PREDICTOR_HORIZONTAL worked beautifully. With the predictor running, libtiff's compression ratios reach parity with Photoshop.
Increasing the deflate compression ratio to its maximum via TIFFTAG_ZIPQUALITY had only marginal effects on compression (a 2% improvement) while tripling the computation time required.
I appreciate the advice! Perhaps PREDICTOR_HORIZONTAL might make a good default value for the libtiff predictor tag?
It would restrict compatibility to those readers that implement the predictor.
