2005.01.21 21:49 "Re: [Tiff] deleting tags!", by Andrey Kiselev
I guess I'll have a look and see what I can understand in tiffcp. In fact, for what we wanted to do getting rid of the unknown tags was a feature! There were some tags photoshop put in that are also not in the ATA spec, so they had to go - tiffcp not copying them was great. I guess at the very least it will be a good base to work from. I warn you, you may get some silly questions though. I will try my best ;-).
Antoine,
If the input files are all in the same simple format you can easily write a tool to convert them in the form you need. Attached code should help you to understand the basic idea how to do that.
