Sorry to get back so soon. Really haven't made any progress on this for over two days, but writing about the problem seems to have helped rephrasing it...

What if I wanted complete raster data (not downsampled output) from libjpeg from within libtiff? Meaning that I do not want libjpeg to convert to RGB, but I do want it to output complete scanlines.

I have obtained this by setting the YCbCrSubSampling tags to 1 after reading the tiff header, and commenting out the sanity check in tiff_jpeg (after the remark /* Component 0 should have expected sampling factors */, where sp->cinfo.d.comp_info[0].x_samp_factor and sp->x_sampling are compared).

The normal interface to LibJpeg gets used this way (JPEGDecode instead of JPEGDecodeRaw), alloc_sarray is never used but I do get the unconverted YCbCr I'm after. So this does help. And leaves me with just one question: is the commenting out of the sanity check going to hurt me on some files?
