+<p><i>tiffcrop</i> combines one or more files created
+according to the Tag Image File Format, Revision 6.0 into a
+single <small>TIFF</small> file. The output file may be
+compressed using a different algorithm than the input files.
+<i>tiffcrop</i> is most often used to extract portions of an
+image for processing with bar code recognizer or OCR
+software when that software cannot restrict the region of
+interest to a specific portion of the image or to improve
+efficiency when the regions of interest must be rotated.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p>By default, <i>tiffcrop</i> will copy all the understood
+tags in a <small>TIFF</small> directory of an input file to
+the associated directory in the output file.</p>
+<!-- INDENTATION -->
+<p><i>tiffcrop</i> can be used to reorganize the storage
+characteristics of data in a file, and it will alter or
+convert the image data content as specified at the same
+time, unlike tiffcp.</p>
