Hi!
I built and linked libtiff into my Macintosh application. It works fine. I can now read TIFF images from files and display them in a window.
Now what I really need to do is display TIFF previews extracted from EPS files. The EPS files are generated using various graphics program, such as QuarkXPress and Creator2.
Where can I find out how to extract the TIFF preview from the EPS file? I know the TIFF preview is preceeded with 'C5D0D3C6', but the data I see with my HEX editor doesn't look at all like TIFF data. I tried making a new file with this data and reading it but no software recognizes it as a TIFF file.
Thanks for any help,
Steve
