Package: libtiff4
Version: 3.7.2-1
Severity: minor

Jay,

You've handled this library admirably so far. I wonder if I could test your
resolve by filing another request related to a broken tiff file format used by
a particular imaging system vendor - Kodak this time. Their GelLogic 440
Gel Documentation system software (KODAK 1D ver 3.6 - most current) produces
tiff files that cause the following error message to be generated by libtiff4
using Gimp 2.2:

TIFF image Message 1

wrong data type 1 for "RichTIFFIPTC"; tag ignored

TIFF image Message 2

invalid TIFF directory; tags are not sorted in ascending order

I have an example problem file at http://debian.tagancha.org/bugs/2005-03-17.tif

I filed a request with Kodak technical support to fix this problem but I don't
have any hope that they will actually do anything about it. Please advise me
if you can work around this or if I should just bite my lip and click on the
"OK" button for the next few years or write a script to fix these tags and run
it every time I get more images from this system.

Best wishes,

Alex
