Acknowledgements

+ +The libtiff software was written by Sam Leffler while working for +Silicon Graphics.

+ +The LZW algorithm is derived from the compress program (the proper attribution +is included in the source code). The Group 3 fax stuff originated as code +from Jef Poskanzer, but has since been rewritten several times. The latest +version uses an algorithm from Frank Cringle -- consult +libtiff/mkg3states.c and libtiff/tif_fax3.h for further +information. The JPEG support was written by Tom Lane and is dependent on the +excellent work of Tom Lane and the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) who distribute +their work under friendly licensing similar to this software. Joris Van Damme +implemented the robust Old JPEG decoder (as included in libtiff since version +3.9.0, there was another Old JPEG module in older releases, which was +incomplete and unsuitable for many existing images of that format). JBIG +module was written by Lee Howard and depends on JBIG library from the Markus +Kuhn. Many other people have by now helped with bug fixes and code; a few of +the more persistent contributors have been: + +
