I'm interested in putting a large collection of TIFF images through a
validation process, one that tests each image against a series of rules and
reports whether it conforms to the TIFF standard and also which version of
the TIFF standard it complies with.  In other words, I'm looking for a
utility that can report which TIFF version a particular TIFF file conforms
to.  If there is not such a utility, how would one know which version TIFF
s/he is producing?

My immediate need is to check a large collection of bitonal TIFFs, though I
would like to be able to test grayscale and color images also.

Many thanks,

Bill Comstock
