Hi
    I am a beginner, an try to learn how to use TIFFSetField usage, I
try to use TIFFSetField as below

      TIFFSetField(tif, tag, count, vlaue_ptr);

it works, but the value is not correct when I try to use TIFFGetField, the count = 1, and the vlaue_ptr is the pointer of a short value, which value equal to 16, but when I read it back it become 1. What I did wrong?

He Yang,

The tricky thing with TIFFSetField() is that the calling sequence is very much determined by which tag you are getting and setting. The library attempts to provide a "natural" calling sequence depending on the nature of the tag but this means you need to lookup the particular tag in the TIFFSetField man page to see the appropriate arguments. Likewise with TIFFGetField. So you will need to be more specific about the tag you are talking about.

Best regards,
