Hi,
I want to let you that I solved this problem with a minor change to libtiff. My problem was that I was looking for ClipPath(343) tag which was not part of sample tiff I was working with. Sample tiff contained TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP(34377).
So, instead of trying to fetch clippath and write it out, I opted to fetch whole photoshop data and write it out. But I still could not write PHOTOSHOP tag data to newly created tiff image until I made below changes to TIFFWriteNormalTag() fuction in tif_dirwrite.c file.
Thanks for the feedbacks and help.
Regards,
Jae Ho

// moved TIFF_BYTE case statement to TIFF_UNDEFINED because TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP tag couldn't be written.
// when tag is TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP, 1) is executed but returned value for wc is zero
// and no data is written for TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP tag.
// 2) should be executed to write TIFFTAG_PHOTOSHOP data correctly but I opted to execute 3) instead.
