We should be able to support TIFF

Current implementation can be found in the tiff-codec branch.

I realise how unhelpful this comment right here is, but TIFF decoding across the board can be really tricky to get right - there are loads of compression formats, and even fairly respected tools (from MS / Atalasoft) get it wrong even with 1-bit images. I think some archiving formats even require special licensing to implement correctly. It might be worth identifying a small subset of formats to support!

@kierenj

@kierenj It's certainly not an unhelpful comment. Tiff would be hard and I'm sorely tempted to let someone else figure it out and concentrate on what we have already. I'm just dreading the day someone tells me that the library is useless without it. There's always someone!

I needed to import Tiff files so I created a temporary Tiff encoder and decoder based on LibTiff.Net.

@ChrisVanDijk

@ChrisVanDijk Good effort but have you benchmarked that codec? The Bitmiracle jpeg codec was about 10x slower and used 190MB more to process a small test image compared to our codec. I imagine the Tiff one will be the same. I'd be careful using it.

@Andy-Wilkinson you have been playing around with Tiff haven't you with your own stuff? I wonder if we can use some of it?

@JimBobSquarePants

@JimBobSquarePants The code and performance is bad, but I really needed the ability to open Tiff files. It's a temporary solution until a better one.

@ChrisVanDijk

@ChrisVanDijk understandable. Tiff is a complex format so I'm pushing it to the backburner until I can get everything else out of the way... Not looking forward to tackling it!

@ChrisVanDijk

@ChrisVanDijk @JimBobSquarePants One big "advantage" of these naive C ports is that its really not that hard to make the first steps towards speeding & cleaning them up.
Someone with time & a profiler could check it, and estimate the efforts needed reuse/refactor elements of that code.

@JimBobSquarePants

@JimBobSquarePants I've got the basics of reading the Tiff format itself working from my own project (I started here since many Camera Raw files are mutant Tiff files). As you mention, there are a number of compression formats, but the key ones probably aren't too much trouble. The one issue with my existing codebase is that it was a bit of an experiment in a more functional style of C#, rather than how you might structure it normally.

All that said, I know a fair amount about the Tiff format now, so probably would be able to make a quick start on a true ImageSharp Tiff codec pretty easily (and share a bit of the code where I can). Would you be interested in me picking up this issue and giving it a start? (especially since you guys seem to be busy enough with the existing codec perf 😄)

@antonfirsov

@antonfirsov I've found with those ports though there's about a million lines more code than I'd like to read nested in there.

@Andy-Wilkinson That would be absolutely brilliant if you could! 💯

#12 Tiff specific fixes for lzw

Merge pull request #1457 from IldarKhayrutdinov/tiff-format

Merge pull request #1496 from IldarKhayrutdinov/tiff-format-benchmarks

Merge pull request #1494 from IldarKhayrutdinov/tiff-format

Merge pull request #1537 from IldarKhayrutdinov/tiff-format

I am happy to announce that we have now support for decoding and encoding Tiff images with #1553 merged to the master branch.

You can try it out with our nightly build from our myget feed

For now this feature has to be activated manually by the user, which can be done in several different ways:

Add Tiff to the Default Configuration:

Configuration.Default.AddTiff();

Or to your specific configuration:

Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.AddTiff();

Provide the Tiff Decoder / Encoder explicit when loading or saving a image:

using var image = Image.Load(@"image.tiff", new TiffDecoder());

@brianpopow

@brianpopow let’s make that automatic. 🙂

With #1634 merged, the Tiff format is now added to the default Configuration.

Hi, i try to read a tiff image, but it throw Tiled images are not supported.
Any plan to support Construction of image (from tile data) ?
Thank you!

No plans currently. That would require community support to implement.
