Hello,

I would like to know what compression schemes POV-Ray accepts for TIFF 
files as image_map{}. I have checked a few schemes but they usually show 
with scrambled colors or are rotated (i have read about the rotation 
problem here). I have search in the docs but could not find any details 
on this. I can imagine that some of the compressions need a license to 
apply and may not be supported by POV-Ray.

I know I could use any other format but this is for a utility I am 
working on. I would like to know if TIFF files are just too problematic 
and just tell the user that another image formats may be better (like 
JPEG or PNG).

I am using POV-Ray 3.5b7 with Windows 98.

thanks for any info on this,

FlyerX
