TIFF tags
The table below shows the types and values of tags that can be included in the
TIFF directory. If included, other tags or unacceptable values are normally ig-
nored, but might occasionally cause processing to stop.
Tag values must be entered in byte, ASCII, short, long, or rational data format.
If the value of the tag is a pointer to data that is stored outside the tag entry, that
pointer must be at the back of the directory that contains the tag, pointing either
to the subsequent directory or the data domain preceding the end of the data,
not to the data domain of the subsequent page.
