IFD format

An Image File Directory (IFD) consists of a 2-byte count of the number of direc- tory entries (i.e., the number of fields), followed by a sequence of 12-byte field entries, followed by a 4-byte offset of the next IFD (or 0 if none). (Do not forget to write the 4 bytes of 0 after the last IFD.

IFD entry
bytes field (h)	Format
0-1	IFD Entry: The Tag that identifies the field
2-3	IFD Entry: The field Type 1 = BYTE 8-bit unsigned integer. 2 = ASCII 8-bit byte that contains a 7-bit ASCII code; the last byte must be NUL (binary zero). 3 = SHORT 16-bit (2-byte) unsigned integer. 4 = LONG 32-bit (4-byte) unsigned integer. 5 = RATIONAL Two LONGs: the first represents the numerator of a fraction; the second, the denominator. The value of the Count part of an ASCII field entry includes the NUL. If padding is necessary, the Count does not include the pad byte. Note that there is no initial “count byte” as in Pascal-style strings. Any ASCII field can contain multiple strings, each terminated with a NUL. A single string is preferred whenever possible. The Count for multi-string fields is the number of bytes in all the strings in that field plus their terminating NUL bytes. Only one NUL is allowed between strings, so that the strings following the first string will often begin on an odd byte. The reader must check the type to verify that it contains an expected value. TIFF currently allows more than 1 valid type for some fields. For example, ImageWidth and ImageLength are usually specified as having type SHORT. But images with more than 64K rows or columns must use the LONG field type. TIFF readers should accept BYTE, SHORT, or LONG values for any unsigned integer field. This allows a single procedure to retrieve any integer value, makes reading more robust, and saves disk space in some situations. 6 = SBYTE An 8-bit signed (twos-complement) integer. 7 = UNDEFINED An 8-bit byte that may contain anything, depending on the definition of the field. 8 = SSHORT A 16-bit (2-byte) signed (twos-complement) integer. 9 = SLONG A 32-bit (4-byte) signed (twos-complement) integer. 10 = SRATIONAL Two SLONG’s: the first represents the numerator of a fraction, the second the denominator. 11 = FLOAT Single precision (4-byte) IEEE format. 12 = DOUBLE Double precision (8-byte) IEEE format. These new field types are also governed by the byte order (II or MM)
4-7	IFD Entry: The number of values, Count of the indicated Type
8-11	IFD Entry: The Value Offset ((in bytes from the TIFF header)) The Value is expected to begin on a word boundary; the correspond- ing Value Offset will thus be an even number. This file offset may point anywhere in the file, even after the image data.

IFD Tag:

• orientation (of the image with respect to the rows and columns)

Tag = 274 (112.H)

Type = SHORT

N= 1

1 = The 0th row represents the visual top of the image, and the 0th column represents
the visual left-hand side.
2 = The 0th row represents the visual top of the image, and the 0th column represents
the visual right-hand side.
3 = The 0th row represents the visual bottom of the image, and the 0th column repre-
sents the visual right-hand side.
4 = The 0th row represents the visual bottom of the image, and the 0th column repre-
sents the visual left-hand side.
5 = The 0th row represents the visual left-hand side of the image, and the 0th column
represents the visual top.
6 = The 0th row represents the visual right-hand side of the image, and the 0th column
represents the visual top.
7 = The 0th row represents the visual right-hand side of the image, and the 0th column
represents the visual bottom
8 = The 0th row represents the visual left-hand side of the image, and the 0th column
represents the visual bottom.
Default is 1.
Support for orientations other than 1 is not a Baseline TIFF requirement.

• XResolution (The number of pixels per ResolutionUnit in the ImageWidth direction)

Tag = 282 (11A.H)

Type = RATIONAL

N= 1

It is not mandatory that the image be actually displayed or printed at the size implied
by this parameter. It is up to the application to use this information as it wishes.
No default. See also YResolution, ResolutionUnit

• DateTime (Date and time of image creation)

Tag = 306 (132.H)

Type = ASCII

N= 20
The format is: “YYYY:MM:DD HH:MM:SS”, with hours like those on a 24-hour
clock, and one space character between the date and the time. The length of the
string, including the terminating NUL, is 20 bytes.
