Thank you, Ed.

>Igor,
>The following are portions of the leadtools OCX help file that describes TIFF support:
>
>LEADTOOLS reads and writes several TIFF formats that do not require an LZW license.
>TIFF is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data. Because TIFF files do not have a single way to store image data, there are many versions of TIFF. LEADTOOLS supports the most common TIFF formats. The usual file extension is TIFF for single-image files, and MPT for multipage files (which can contain many images).
>LEADTOOLS can read and write TIFF files that use RGB, CMYK, or YCbCr color space. LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with PackBits compression.
>
>LEADTOOLS can also read and write files with Lossless JPEG compression for 8, 12, and 16-bit grayscale and 24-bit color spacing.
>You can read the following bits per pixel, without regard for the color space: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32.
>You can write the following bits per pixel, with RGB color space: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 16, 24, 32.
>You can write the following bits per pixel, with CMYK color space: 24, 32.
>You can write the following bits per pixel, with YCbCr color space: 24.

>LEADTOOLS reads and writes the following LZW-compressed formats. Note that these formats require a separate license, as explained in LZW License Instructions.

> GIF. This is the Graphics Interchange Format created by CompuServe for storing and exchanging color raster images.

>You can read and write the following bits per pixel: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

> Animated GIF. This is a multipage GIF format that can be played as an animation by displaying the images sequentially. LEADTOOLS lets you create and play the animations.
