I totally agree TIFFRGBA interface, used by that code snippet, is unsuitable for loading monochrome images for the reasons you mention. You can use the lower level interface TIFFReadEncodedXxx for this. See http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/libtiff.html#strips and http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/libtiff.html#tiles, and of course http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/man/index.html. These things are supported in LibTiffDelphi just as they are in LibTiff.
