In the Release Notes for 3.0 under AppKit, the following statement is made: " Under NeXTSTEP 2.0 JPEG images were written using a very early draft of the new TIFF standard. Because of numerous revisions to this spec, JPEG images written under 2.0 are pretty much _not_ compatible with anything, except that they can be loaded under NeXTSTEP 3.0. JPEG images written under 3.0 are compatible with the TIFF 6.0 draft but cannot be read back on earlier versions of NeXTSTEP." Does anyone have access to these early drafts? Even a good idea of what the various private TIFF tags mean would help. I would like to write a conversion program which reads in old NeXT-specific JPEG TIFFs and write out JPEG TIFFs which are compatible with the other platforms which are used by people I send images to. A quick investigation shows that it doesn't appear to be a simple matter of changing the TIFF tags to standard numbers - the format of the extra information has also changed quite a bit. -- Brian Willoughby Software Design Engineer, BSEE NCSU BrianW@SoundS.WA.com Sound Consulting and Signal Processing Software NeXTmail welcome - NO EMAIL SOLICITATION without prior permission
