[comp.graphics] Format of TIFF files

izahi@portia.Stanford.EDU (Raul Izahi Lopez Hernandez) (12/02/89)

   I need to process, using a pascal compiler on the MacII, images scanned
on a grayscale. The scanner that I'm using, ABATON, generates images in the
TIFF format among others. 
   What I need now is the format, word after word, of how each pixel is
stored in order to extract it and execute an image processing algorithm with
groups of pixels.   
   Any information would be welcome.
