This package is an improved version of x/image/tiff featuring:
- Read support for CCITT Group3/4 compressed images using x/image/ccitt
- Read/write support for LZW compressed images.
- Read/write support for the CMYK color model.
- Read support for JPEG compressed images.
- Read support for multi page TIFF files.
Working on pdfcpu (a PDF processor) created a need for processing TIFF files and LZW compression.
-
CCITT compression for monochrome images was the first need. This is being addressed as part of ongoing work on x/image/ccitt.
-
TIFF LZW compression uses MSB bit order, 8-bit literal codes, and TIFF's code-width transition behavior.
-
The PDF specification defines a CMYK color space. This is currently not supported at x/image/tiff.
An improved version of x/image/tiff with full read/write support for CCITT, LZW, JPEG compression and the CMYK color model.
