1996.12.05 22:35 "Re: (more than 8 bits) TIFF images", by Ed Grissom
Note that the 4 and 8 bit restriction is only for "baseline" TIFF. As far as I know, there are no restrictions on BPS for non-baseline files. In the discussion of the Compression tag (p.30), the TIFF 6.0 document specifically mentions 16, 32, and 6-bit data. -- ed grissom egrissom@ingr.com >---------- >From: > Claire.Rossignol@best.ms.philips.com[SMTP:Claire.Rossignol@best.ms.philips.c >om] >Sent: Thursday, December 05, 1996 1:48 AM >To: tiff@sgi.com >Subject: (more than 8 bits) TIFF images > > > >Hie, > > > >The BitsPerSample required values for Grayscale and Palette-color Images are >4 and 8 according to the TIFF 6.0 Specification.
