Seems like you're adding in some options that are nto needed. For simple concatenation of file1 and file2 you can do this

tiffcp file1.tiff file2.tiff outfile.tiff

Subject: [Tiff] tiffcp usage

Hello,

I am a beginner and found libtiff is really useful for one of our projects.
Then I read the documentation and did some research on this.
When I tried to use "tiffcp" to combine two or several tiff files together,
I always got some errors like "not a tiff file"

I downloaded two new tiff files and tried again, this time, I got a bigger
tiff file, but, after open it, I found it is still the first file, not two
files.

Please help me on this tiffcp usage, thanks a lot. I searched all the
mailing archive and read the man page of the tiffcp, but still could not get
it.

Thanks a lot

<following is from the usage of tiffcp, it did not work for me, I wondered
whether I had several corrupted files.)

For example, -c lzw:2 to get LZW-encoded data with horizontal differencing

Note that input filenames may be of the form filename,x,y,z
where x, y, and z specify image numbers in the filename to copy.
example: tiffcp -c none -b esp.tif,1 esp.tif,0 test.tif
  subtract 2nd image in esp.tif from 1st yielding uncompressed result
test.tif
