Nenad,

That is not trivial to copy arbitrary TIFF file to another one. Look at
the tiffcp utility sources. This is largest utility in the whole package
and it was designed just to copy contents of the one file to another
one. (Besides of copying it can change the file layout, that adds
complexity to the task).

I have attached the simple code you can start from. It works for pixel
interleaved stripped images, but do not forget about other sorts of
possible TIFFs.

Best regards,
Andrey
