LibTiff Mailing List

For purposes of parsing, my code would strongly prefer that libtiff 
offer scanlines, strips, or tiles, in "big endian" byte-order rather 
than attempting to swab into the CPU's native order.  Is there a way 
to (portably across libtiff releases) convince libtiff to do that?

The current approach I am using swabs the data to big-endian order, 
but this penalizes little-endian CPUs with an extra swap if the 
original TIFF data was in big-endian order.
