In the docs at;

http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/tifftags/predictor.html

There is the strong implication that the predictor only does anything when using LZW compression. Can someone here answer the question; What compression schemes is the predictor enabled? (Breakpointing the predictor code and running shows that it works for ADOBE_DEFLATE, and for my images, this is a good thing -- they compress better with the predictor on).

Perhaps the documentation at the page referenced above should be updated to accurately reflect which compression schemes the predictor supports.
