2007.07.03 19:04 "Re: BigTIFF extension?", by Stephen Carlsen
Sorry about the ".tf2" extensions in my sample files, which probably just added confusion to the issue. I tend to think of "Big TIFF" as "2nd generation TIFF" or "TIFf2", so I use ".tf2" in my private (non-LibTIFF) testbench. I'll try to behave myself and use the more accepted ".btf" -- at least when I post. :-) Regards, Stephen At 2:37 PM -0400 7/3/07, Phil Harvey wrote: >Was there ever a consensus from the discussions in Oct 2004 >concerning the recommended extension for BigTIFF? > >The samples presented on the BigTIFF web page >(http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff.html) >use "BTF", while the samples just posted to this list >use "TF2".
