Hello,
I'm currently working on a project, which takes a software's output file, which contains alot of details pertaining to setup, and at the end is raw image data.

Well thus far i am able to pull the data out, as-well-as pull the 16bit image, down convert it to 8bit and build a BMP file with the image. Now i need to output in TIFF format (to keep with current formats around here) as wells as an ANI-GIF file (to do batch pictures into movie).

Any tiff documentation i read is WILDLY complicated as-well-as and gif info. No straight forward way to construct headers, file data, etc. I'm not looking to compress, or otherwise shrink the files. I just want a tiff reader to read it.

Does anyone know of some easy way to just dynamicly convert my BMPs to TIF and GIF formats? Or even know of a good sight explaining the construction of such files?


PLEASE my brain is fried reading 100+ papers on tiff files.
