What¹s a ³practical² TIFF? 65,536 pixels on a side and 2 GB/4 GB was the absolute largest anyone could conceive of an image being, just a few years agoŠ we¹re already a thousand times beyond that, with practical images. I¹d say the same size as the maximum size of the image.. i.e. any arbitrary subregion of the image.

With HEIF on the horizon, TIFF will need to be VERY flexible.

Does anyone have an opinion on the maximum tile size which should be allowed by a general purpose TIFF reader?

For example is 4096x4096 large enough to handle any practical TIFFs?
