thx a lot for your suggestion of checking the code of tiffdump. in fact, i had something like this in mind - i'm pretty sure that this will help to get the information about the ifd itself i'm looking for. > Note that programs that change ifd[0] will be very likely to destroy > or overwrite ifd[1]. I don't understand what it is you are trying to > accomplish, but maybe you will want to store ifd[1] in a separate file. the idea is to have a >single< tiff-file with a backup of the ifd, which is originally/usually used. >if< something is wrong (which i should know by comparing the values): overwrite the 'damaged' ifd with the values of the backup. there would nothing wrong about overwriting the backup ifd. referring to: > You can copy the IFD itself, but remember [...] hm... but how? i still couldn't figure out. [ right now i start feeling pretty stupid :) ] thx again for your help. /karin
