Hi all,

Is libtiff still under development? I'm wondering if following functions could be added to the library:

TIFFReadBilevelImageDate()
TIFFReadGrayImageDate()
TIFFReadRgbImageDate()
TIFFReadCmykImageDate()

They should all read out uncompressed image data of the whole image. For colour image the data should be aligned in planar format, so that a user can easily get a certain colour component. This way a libtiff user needn't to bother with questions as:

Is the image stripped or tiled?

Is the colour image data in chunky or planar format?

I hope you won't say that I'm too lazy or too greedy......
