unable  to correlate   to  your  problem  but   I had a  problem  with  tiff
jpeg   comrpesson.
pagemaker   was  calling  converting  tiff   to   dib  and   the   dib was
sent   to  compressor
and  the   comrpessed   output   was   sent   to the  printer   and  the
decompression at  the  printer
simply   crashes.

Hi,

> I've noticed some small problems with TIFF JPEG compression.

I did experiece similar problems on Lab and JPEG. Seems JPEG is not
adecuate on such high gamma spaces. If you are using Lab because its
color accurancy, you should reconsider the compression scheme. JPEG
yelds  great compression ratios, but is lossy. And since Lab is hardly
perceptually uniform, the noise comes easely evident. A better choice
would be to use RGB and embed icc profile. If the profile is accurate
enough, you will better results on this way than using Lab.

TIFF 6 states that tiles shouldn't hold any alignment. Your image seems
somehow dword aligned.

Hope this helps,
