TIFF 6.0 Specification
Final—June 3, 1992
SMaxSampleValue
Tag
= 341 (155.H)
Type = the field type that best matches the sample data
N
= SamplesPerPixel
This new field specifies the maximum sample value.
Comments
The SampleFormat field allows more general imaging (such as image processing)
applications to employ TIFF as a valid file format.
SMinSampleValue and SMaxSampleValue become more meaningful when im-
age data is typed. The presence of these fields makes it possible for readers to
assume that data samples are bound to the range [SMinSampleValue,
SMaxSampleValue] without scanning the image data.
