The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for
|
|

Silicon Graphics.

The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper attribution
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
is included in the source code). The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times. The latest
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
version uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
<TT>libtiff/mkg3states.c</TT> and <TT>libtiff/tif_fax3.h</TT> for further
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
information. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
their work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
implemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
3.9.0, there was another Old JPEG module in older releases, which was
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
incomplete and unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
module was written by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus
|
|

Kuhn. Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of
|
|
Packit |
994f1a |
