[edit] Overview
BigTIFF is a TIFF-like image file format, which supports larger files and data structures than does TIFF. It is logically almost identical to TIFF, though it is not compatible with it.
[edit] Identification
Files begin with 49 49 2B 00 08 00 00 00 (little-endian BigTIFF), or 4D 4D 00 2B 00 08 00 00 (big-endian BigTIFF).
[edit] Software
- LibTIFF, starting with version 4.
- Fork of libtiff, apparently unofficial fork of libtiff which originated with Aperio, now part of Leica Biosystems.
[edit] Sample files
- ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/tiff-samples/
- http://awaresystems.be/imaging/tiff/bigtiff/BigTIFFSamples.zip
- dexvert samples — image/bigTIFF
