Hi Matt, Just for the record, the TIFF tools are also distributed to the MS4W users as well, on the web mapping side of things ha (I use them often, so when I find something useful I try to distribute them). https://ms4w.com Cheers from the far east side. -jeff On 2022-01-18 12:41 p.m.,

Thank you Frank and Even. As is so often the case on this list, I now have answers, and an education. I have been peripherally aware of the tiff tools from libtiff, but not enough so that they came to mind when seeking to puzzle out things. I’m now updated. ;-) -Matt ___
