2008.02.12 00:29 "Re: TIFFReadRGBAImage rendering upside-down", by Mick O'Neill
Yes, I looked at the orientation tags, and they seemed to all indicate
ORIENTATION_TOPLEFT ok. I have other TIFF files, generated by the same
Kofax software, in fact, that all come out OK. There must be something
else somewhere.
The only tags that I noticed that are a bit odd are the
TIFFTAG_YCBCRSUBSAMPLING in the OJPEG compressed images (Missing, and
the Jpegs indicate [2,1]), and the TIFFTAG_FILLORDER tags in the CITT
compressed images with a value of FILLORDER_LSB2MSB, which is unusual.
I cannot get onto the CVS to get the latest version - wondering if you
may be able to send me a copy of the tif_getimage.c and perhaps
tif_read.c modules you used so I can compare, and perhaps find out
exactly what it is that is different?
I don't mind flipping the images - in fact, I am loading the generated
RGBA into ImageMagick for further processing - I just need to know when
to do it.
Cheers,

Mick,
The tiffinfo reports:
Orientation: row 0 top, col 0 lhs
Which is (I believe) the default case where the first pixel in the file
is the top left corner of the image. I also ran tiff2rgba with the
current development version of libtiff and tiff2rgba and it came out
with the first page "right side up", so I'm surprised you are having
problems.
Best regards,
