Quoting "Bob Friesenhahn" <bfriesen@simple.dallas.tx.us>: Bob Thanks. I found a way out of the memory consumption by calling TIFFClose() and TIFFOpen in between rows of TILES (inside the double loop). This way the consumption (leak) stays < 25 MB with these huge images, which is tolerable. Memory is freed when TIFFClose() is called. ilkka Salo Finland >> I tried with _TIFFmalloc() and malloc() but it does not make >> a difference - memory consumption goes up.
