2005.08.15 01:15 "TIFF Thumbnail", by Katrina Maramba
Hello again, I have observed that not all TIFF images have multiple directories, which means it has no thumbnail. And not all that have multiple directories have thumbnails in their secondary (or whatever) directory. How can the reader determine if a particular image has a thumbnail or not? And how can the reader determine the directory number(?) in which the thumbnail belongs (so it doesnt have to read the other directories)? I assume that when it is determined that it has a thumbnail (and the thumbnail is needed), it will have to read the nth directory and process the thumbnail. Any comments will again be so appreciated. :) - Katrina
