Count yourself lucky; I once had to deal with a totally goofy TIFF file (I think it was from a government agency) that was 11-bit TIFF, packed. Just imagine the fun bit-masking that stuff out....

Wow! The TIFF specs is not very clear about how such files should be handled. Could you please provide me with a sample image!?

Best regards,
