In the tiff.h, the comments says the TIF_RATIONAL is 64bit, but in the return value of is 4 bytes which is 32 bit. Why? > tif_dirinfo.c,

Which is correct?

Are you referring to the value in _TIFFDataSize()? If so, the comment above the function should explain it. Basically, rationals are stored as 2 32-bit integers but in the libtiff API and internal structures, they're 32-bit floats. Conversion is done in tif_dirread.c and tif_dirwrite.c
