2007.06.18 15:00 "Re: Converting from Striped TIFF into Tiled TIFF", by Bob Friesenhahn
When I attempt to load your striped.tiff file, I see this error message from libtiff: "Compression algorithm does not support random access." so it seems that libtiff itself does not want to read this file. There must be some limitation related to the PackBits compression. The tiffcp from recent libtiff reports: % tiffcp -t -w 256 -l 256 -p separate striped.tiff tiled.tiff striped.tiff: Compression algorithm does not support random access. striped.tiff: Error, can't read scanline 1.
