Michael,
Here is a previous message that may solve your problem. In short, it
appears that the Windows specific libtiff code for appending to an image
has a bug.
By the way, I'm going to be writing some code in Windows to do the very
same thing you're doing; so let me know if you have any other troubles
(if you can).

I cannot seem to get libtiff to create multipage tiff files. I open an
existing tiff and am trying to add pages to it. Can someone give me a
brief
description of what special I need to do?
(I have looked at tiffcp.c and am doing basically the same thing and it
still doesn't want to work)
Michael.
P.S. this is on windows
