Steve,

Note, this is a warning not an error. It doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the file, just that there is stuff in the file that isn't recognised by libtiff as baseline tags.

but the applications was keeping pop warning message to borning me :) its not so good, isn't it?

below is the output of tiffinfo on a tiff file in question,

Well, it looks like you have trimmed the output at the interesting point. In particular, modern tiffinfo's attempt to report some basic information about unrecognised tags at the end of known tag processing.

can you tell me more?

for the tiffinfo output, i still has two questions desiring kind help from you.

>> 1. what means "ICC Profile: <present>"? and what is ICC?

It is information related to color control. Do you really want to know more?

sure, of course. please go on...

>> 2. i noticed this file is uncompressed. so what's the benefit the lab save >> result in tiff rather than a bmp?

Because a variety of extra metadata can be saved in it. Why would saving it in BMP be better than saving it in TIFF?

okay, now i understand the benefits.
