I'd be happy to share this code with any individual who wants it, post it to the list, or put it somewhere and post a link. Let me know if you're interested.

Jay,

Even if it has little to do with TIFF, as Bob points out, I believe a question like this pops up regularly.

The TIFF faq Andrey and I pointed to, is really a *TIFF* faq. This question, together with a revised version of my answer, you code, and code that interfaces with LibTiff to read input and write output, would be an excellent entry of a *LibTiff* faq. Another recent question, the cropping question, would certainly also qualify. Apart from avoiding giving the same answers over and over again, such faq entries would be a) excellent additional examples of how to use LibTiff in real-life situations, and b) especially interesting due to added imaging related content.

Needless to say I'll come up with a LibTiff faq sooner rather then later, if Andrey and Frank allow that. So if you're willing to contribute your code, that's excellent. Especially if it also contains the interface to read from and write to TIFF using LibTiff. (I'm not a C coder myself, I can read the stuff but I'm not used to writing it, I'm a Delphi programmer, so these things are certainly trivial to you but present an extra challenge for me.)
