The names are stored as completely standard UTF-16 values. But this has nothing to do with TIFF, since the alpha channel names are stored in the Photoshop specific data block. And the documentation for the strings is in the Photoshop SDK.

Hi, I am facing the problem in getting the alpha channel names stored with Unicode characters e.g. in Japanese Korean etc. I created the Tiff file from Adobe Photoshop and provide the Unicode alpha channel name. If I read this tiff file then I get the garbage characters (e.g ???). If I open the same file in Adobe Photoshop then it is opening properly and also shows the correct alpha channel name. If I provide the name in English then it is working properly. Did any one have face the same issue? Is there any way to read Unicode alpha channel name? Thanks & regards, amit
