Hello,

is it correct for tiff-readers to make assumptions about TIFF-Tag default values?

Some tags have default values and it is not an error. Actually we have a special function TIFFVGetFieldDefaulted() which works in the same way as TIFFVGetField() but also returns default value if the tag is not set in

Ok, so all i have to do is use TIFFGetFieldDefaulted instead of TIFFGetField, right?

Should i do this for all type of tags, or only for those known to have default values? (i'm lazy, yes i am...)

Thank you!
