I wanted to ask Eric a question or two about the rtiff package, but his listed email address bounces w/ 550 error. Does anyone know how to reach him, or whether he's actively maintaining rtiff?
He is not. The latest version of rtiff was done by the CRAN team to fix a number of errors and keep it building on the CRAN platfoms -- you will see it was packaged by me.
If anyone's interested, my primary desire is for rtiff (or other tool) to provide me with the raw range of pixel values in a tiff file. rtiff dumps straight into a pixmap object, so the data are autoscaled into [0,1] .
It is very simple package, easy for you to modify -- this could be done in readTiff in a couple of minutes.
An alternative is BioC package EBImage (provided your ImageMagick installation supports TIFF).
