Using the tiff bitmap decoder libraries

[Andrew Falanga]

Hi,

I have a need to doing a pixel by pixel comparison of two different
TIFF images and I noticed, while searching online, the
TiffBitmapDecoder in System.Windows.Media.Imaging. This looks like
I'll be able to make use of it in my C# program. However, on MSDN,
I'm not finding the greatest documentation on using this. All I need
to do is get to a point where I can read, into a byte array perhaps,
the graphic content of a TIFF image. How would I do that using this
library?

Thanks,
Andy

You can use the Image class to read the TIFF file into a Bitmap.  Then you  
can use the LockBits() method to retrieve the actual byte data for the  
image.

Thanks. Looks like some reading on MSDN now, but at least I know
where to start.
