I have created Uncompressed TIFF (16-bit) files (from Canon CR2 RAW input) using the RT Queue tool.
What is the byte order of the TIFF files, when RT Queue process RAW and creates TIFF?
Background: The printing company I want to use require Interleaved (RGBRGB) byte order in TIFF files. (Aparently there is another option: Per Channel (RRGGBB))
Environment:
Debian Testing
RT 5.8-2835-gcfda51989 built from source.
1 = Chunky format. The component values for each pixel are stored contiguously. For example, for RGB data, the data is stored as RGBRGBRGB
2 = Planar format. The components are stored in separate component planes. For example, RGB data is stored with the Red components in one component plane, the Green in another, and the Blue in another.
When I execute:
exiftool my-output-from-RT.tif | grep Planar
then I get:
Planar Configuration: Chunky
=> 1 = Chunky format. => The component values for each pixel are stored contiguously. For example, for RGB data, the data is stored as RGBRGBRGB => Interleaved (RGBRGB) byte order?
I guess the printer received some orders with planar TIFF and so decided to add the instruction. I agree the terms are confusing (the byte orders, a planar planar configuration).
