Hello,

I am new to this list.

I was wondering if libtiff supports floating point format tiff?  I am 
interested in both floating point grayscale images and floating point 
RGB images?

If there is support for this, how does one go about enabling it - 
does anything special need to be done in the configure/build for 
libtiff?

Is there some documentation for the floating point format and if so 
where might I find that. I see nothing about floating point format in 
the TIFF 6.0 Specs.

I also saw an old post about the potential for a complex (real and 
imaginary) tiff format? Did anything come from that.

My questions relate to the use of a floating point or complex format 
for generating FFT of images using the FFTW package and storing the 
results in a relevant TIFF format.

Thanks.

Fred Weinhaus
