  52. This software provides support for the <i>Tag Image File Format</i> (TIFF),
  53. a widely used format for storing image data. The latest version of
  54. the TIFF specification is <a href="document.html">available on-line</a>
  55. in several different formats.
  56. </p>
  57. <p>
  58. Included in this software distribution is a library, libtiff, for
  59. reading and writing TIFF, a small collection of tools for doing
  60. simple manipulations of TIFF images, and documentation on the
  61. library and tools. Libtiff is a portable software, it was built
  62. and tested on various systems: UNIX flavors (Linux, BSD, Solaris,
  63. MacOS X), Windows, and OpenVMS. It should be possible to port
  64. libtiff and additional tools on other OSes.
  65. </p>
  66. <p>
  67. The library, along with associated tool programs, should handle most of
  68. your needs for reading and writing TIFF images on 32- and 64-bit
  69. machines.
  70. </p>
  71. <p>
  72. The software was originally authored and maintained by Sam Leffler
  73. but has been maintained by a cast of others since 1999.
  74. </p>
  75. <p>
  76. Questions should be sent to the TIFF mailing list:
  77. <a href="mailto:tiff@lists.osgeo.org">tiff@lists.osgeo.org</a>, with
  78. a subscription interface at
  79. <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/tiff</a>.
  80. </p>
  81. <p>
  82. The persons currently actively maintaining and releasing libtiff
  83. are Even Rouault
  84. and <a href="mailto:bfriesen@GraphicsMagick.org">Bob Friesenhahn</a>.
  85. Note from Even Rouault: do not email me personally, especially when asking
  86. "when is the next release ?", unless you are willing to
  87. pay a LOT of money for my services, and I may even not be interested.
  88. </p>
  89. <p>Significant maintainers in the past (since the 3.5.1 release) are
  90. <a href="http://pobox.com/~warmerdam">Frank Warmerdam</a>,
  91. <a href="mailto:dron@ak4719.spb.edu">Andrey Kiselev</a>,
  92. Joris Van Damme, and Lee Howard.
