Ah, excelent. I was starting to doubt my data. So if it converts from greyscale to RGBA, surely the R, G, B values would all be the same? eg
R=45
G=45
B=45The data I'm pulling out doesn't fit this pattern at all:
eg:
R G B71 202 94
14 209 94
213 215 94
156 222 94
99 229 94I'm not using the stuff myself, but it should indeed return R=G=B if the source is indeed grayscale. Perhaps we can see what's going on if you post a tagdump of the source tiff, and a code snippet. (A tagdump can be made with a tool included in LibTiff, tiffinfo, or by the tag viewer pointed to in my signature if you're a windows user.)

Here's the code I've been writing.
Basically I'm trying to take a sample of pixels across the middle of the image, both horizontal and vertical (yes I know the sample algo is wrong for the horizontal.. I've yet to get to that :) )
