Saving TIFF with CCITT4 compression with single strip!

[Los@discussions.microsoft.com Corne Los]

After installing Windows 7 the Tiff images that my C# program produces are
not longer encoded in a single strip.
Does anybody knwo how to force the tiff encoder to save the image data in
one strip?

This is the (C#) code I am currently using:

ImageCodecInfo tiffCodecInfo = GetEncoderInfo("image/tiff");
EncoderParameters myEncoderParameters = new
EncoderParameters(2);

// Save the bitmap as a TIFF file with CCITT group4 compression.
myEncoderParameters.Param[0] = new
EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.Compression,
(long)EncoderValue.CompressionCCITT4);
myEncoderParameters.Param[1] = new
EncoderParameter(System.Drawing.Imaging.Encoder.ColorDepth, 1L);

image.Save(source, tiffCodecInfo, myEncoderParameters);

Apparently Microsoft doesn't provide enough control over the TIFF generated.

I'm sure Tifflib can do what you want, and some people have successfully
used it from C#:

Tifflib is free, even for commercial use:

It was designed to be used from C, and requires some getting used to.
