Please any further information on this topic would be helpful. I have a Photoshop Tiff file with embedded layers that I need to either break out and recombine or simply delete, similar to the poster's issue. My issue is about layers as opposed to channels. I would think that since Photoshop is used in like 90+ percent of publishing operations around the world (defacto standard) that this issue would have been addressed. Any guidance whatsoever is appreciated.

Hi, I want to know how LibTiff can split the layers in a tiff file?

Seen 'split layers' a lot recently... I strongly suspect you mean channels, and not layers, as in R-G-B for example. Is that correct? If not, if you do mean true layers, then you're in for an adventure, as there is no standard way to specify layers. Instead, there are mutually incompatible proprietary vendor-specific ways. So if you do mean true layers, you need to specify which application created the TIFF file.
