Hi Katrina,
I don't know anything about TIFF/ET other than that it is a format for 
some digital cameras. TIFF/IT is a very specialized multi-file format 
used in the digital prepress industry. You could consider it the 
precursor to PDF/X in some ways.
Here is a link with some more detailed information:
http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000072.shtml
There is a link to NPES.ORG at the bottom of that web page. If you need 
the full specs you'll have to order it from them. I don't think that 
there is any support for TIFF/IT in libtiff other than the tags in the 
header files, but I've never really looked into it.
Good luck.

Larry M. Grill
