Thanks heaps Sherlog, I have spent the day reading up on the tiff format and ccitt T.6 and now would say I have a pretty good idea of both. I will have a go at what you suggest as opposed to trying to change the way libtiff works. I am very new to this sort of stuff, and new to c so am doing lots of time wasting... certainly any extra pointers on how you think it would be best to proceed would be great. I will be able to do some pretty dodgy things like putting all the data in one strip so pointers to offsets shouldn't be too much work. My understanding of your suggestion is that I should load the files into memory and then be directly accessing memory locations - probably by copying into char pointers and then recopying back to get what I want in the right places. I will have a talk to the guys at work, though it has been some years since any of them have touched anything as low level as c. At least I will be able to tell the boss that it isn't just me, and that in fact trying to go with libtiff instead of going for a package like imagegear, which we have, btw, and can not do this anyway, or going outside the organisation. Thanks again, and if you have any other great suggestions (this email has helped me heaps...) then fire away! Cheers Antoine
