The names are stored as completely standard UTF-16 values.

But this has nothing to do with TIFF, since the alpha channel names are s=
tored in the Photoshop specific data block.
And the documentation for the strings is in the Photoshop SDK.

Hi,
I am facing the problem in getting the alpha channel names stored with
Unicode characters e.g. in Japanese Korean etc.=20
I created the Tiff file from Adobe Photoshop and provide the Unicode
alpha channel name. If I read this tiff file then I get the garbage
characters (e.g ???). If I open the same file in Adobe Photoshop then it
is opening properly and also shows the correct alpha channel name.

If I provide the name in English then it is working properly.

Did any one have face the same issue?  Is there any way to read Unicode
alpha channel name?=20



Thanks & regards,
amit
