Hi all,
Can anyone advise a 'proper' way to create private IFD's within an image TIFF?
I've been using the tif_dir.h routines: TIFFCreateCustomDirectory(), TIFFWriteCustomDirectory(); but I'm a little concerned that, because they need private header includes, this might not be the proper way to do things.
My current implementation does:
- Create TIFF file
- Complete the 'normal' metadata
- Write the image data
- Create the custom IFD
- Write the IFD index into the normal tag area
- Close the file
Unfortunately, it's getting stumped at step (5), whereby I'm getting a pair of exceptions:
"Cannot modify tag "Compression" whilst writing"
"Unknown tag 330"
- The first one is just bonkers, as I'm neither writing data nor modifying compression tags at the time
The second one relates to the TIFFTAG_SUBIFD tag write (step5): Which again is a little strange since this tag is defined by the library (so is not unknown).
Any help, suggestions or advice greatly appreciated!!
Mat
