Hello,

I would like to use libtiff to read, process and write large 48bit per pixel TIFF images on a Win2000 and WinXP platform. Having been to your libtiff.html web page and downloaded much of the material pointed to by that page, I got confused by yet another page "Gnu Win32 Project" which it seemed I needed to learn, too, in order to use libtiff.

So I have two sets of questions -

  1. Can I use libtiff to read, process and write 48 bit per pixel (16 bits per R, G and B) images? That are about 500 MByte files? On a Windows platform?
  2. Is there someone I can contact who would be willing to guide me about how to install and compile libtiff using my Visual C++ compiler?

Thanks very much,
Michael Johnson
