Dlpnet,

An other thing... I used the command tool from ImageMagick 'identify' on my tiff and got the error:

identify: bigtiff.tif: Seek error accessing TIFF directory. `TIFFReadDirectory'

maybe something to do with the IFD at the end of the file?

Do you have proper error handling in your writing code? Is it possible an error occured during writing, but went unnoticed by the calling code?

You could also try using a tool like AsTiffTagViewer (http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/astifftagviewer.html) on the file, if you're working on Windows, though current version is known to be not 100% stable in all situations, so if that gets into trouble it's still not saying much. On the other hand, if it doesn't get into trouble, and you're seeing proper and expected tag values of all expected tags and all, I guess that does tell us something.

Best regards,
