2005.08.03 08:00 "[Tiff] Padding", by anil kumar

Hi
I need help for 2 doubts on TIFF file

1. I need to get the count/information of "DIB padding" bytes from a tiff file, which tag should I use to extract this information
2. I read the TIFF file and create the "RAW" file, but when i view it, it seems that part of image is appeneded to the bottom of image? What could be the reason??

Thanks

Anil
