Hi. I had been looking for an way to// //encapsulate an existing jpeg file to TIFF format, without de-compress it first and re-compress it again. I discussed this on imagemagick mailing list, here is the answer from Anthony Thyssen:

I think maybe in libtiff list there might be an answer since the list solved a similar problem (**"how to convert a JPEG-IN-TIFF file to jpeg file without decomress & compress", by Kelvin Zhong * <http://www.asmail.be/msg0055147690.html>*

So, can libtiff does this?

Thanks!
