Hello, I was wondering what people's experiences are with the ImageDepth tag.
are a few mentions of it on this mailing list if one goes back far There
but every TIFF I've seen so far (that has actually had the ImageDepth enough,
set) has had ImageDepth trivially set to 1, such as "cramps-tile.tif". tag
TIFF except for one, that is. That particular TIFF was pretty simple Every
photometric interpretation of MINISBLACK, SamplesPerPixel = 1, otherwise,

ImageDepth = 16.

I can see how the ImageDepth tag could be useful, i.e. just one IFD with
of slices vs. thousands of IFDs each with just one slice. And I thousands
create TIFFs with with 1 in other photometric can ImageDepth >
such as RGB and YCbCr... but do people ever actually run interpretations,

into such beasts?
