    Yesterday, I used various things (tiffcp, tiff2ps, tiffdump, tiffcmp)
    on VMS 5.5 using VAX C 3.2.  tiffcp tickled a bug in VAX C 3.1, so I
    found a node with 3.2.
    
    BTW, I have two images that should differ only in their photometric
    interpretation.  tiffcp doesn't have an option to change this, and tiffcmp
    reports both the tag and the data as different, without trying to fix it.
    Is there a tool I can use to flip one of them?  (I know it's a relatively
    simple program using libtiff, if I need to write one.)
    
tiffcp is not intended to change the data, only the way in
which the data is stored.  I don't supply a program to edit
the tags of a file.  If by changing the photometric you mean
that you want to also do a color space conversion (e.g. YCbCr
to RGB), then you need to write a program.
