I am decompressing 12 bit RGB images, on little endian system.

Each channel is stored in 3 nibbles: for example red is stored as

 0xR2 R1 R0

where R2 is the largest address, R0 is the smallest.

When reading a strip, the nibbles are stored in the memory buffer as follows,
order of increasing memory address: in
indicate bytes) (brackets

Lowest address.... (R1 R2) (G2 R0) (G0 G1) (B1 B2) (R2 B0) (R1 R0)....

Is it possible for libtiff to store the nibbles as follows:

R0 R1 R2 G0 G1 G2 B0 B1 B2............

(sorry for the non-standard notation here)
