:alt: jim
A copy of the 6.0 specification is available from Adobe at
`<http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tiff/TIFF6.pdf>`_
or from the libtiff
ftp site at `<https://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/doc/TIFF6.pdf>`_.
Draft :doc:`technote2` covers problems
with the TIFF 6.0 design for embedding JPEG-compressed data in TIFF, and
describes an alternative.
Other Adobe information on TIFF can be retrieved from
`<http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/tiff/index.html>`_.
Joris Van Damme maintains a list of known tags and their descriptions and
definitions. It is available online at
`<http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/tifftags.html>`_.
There is a FAQ, related both to TIFF format and libtiff library:
`<http://www.awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/faq.html>`_.
A design for a TIFF variation supporting files larger than 4GB is detailed in :doc:`bigtiff`.
The LibTIFF coverage of the TIFF 6.0 specification is detailed in :doc:`coverage`.
