Save a BufferedImage as a TIFF file?
image, java, tiff
Solution
This project apparently adds TIFF read and write capabilities to ImageIO: http://java.net/projects/imageio-ext
If you are looking for JAI 1.1.3: Where can I download Jai and Jai-imageio?
Problem
The following code works fine to write a `BufferedImage` to a file in .bmp, .jpg and .png formats: ``` import java.awt.*; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; ... BufferedImage image; // assume `image` is properly initialized File file; // assume 'file' is properly initialized to some file String format; // This is either 'bmp', 'jpg', or 'png'; if 'tif', it fails ImageIO.write(imageBlank, format, file); // This properly creates a file for 'bmp', 'jpg', or 'png'; not for 'tif' ``` However, when the format is .tif, the above code throws an exception on the `write` line. Many links suggest using the Java Advanced Imaging API to create TIFF's; some give the following link: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jai/. However, this link does not lead to a download of JAI. Other links are either dead or circular. I don't think that JAI is included with JDK 1.7; am I correct? Can someone either give a working link to the actual JAI download, or else tell me how to create a .tif file from a `BufferedImage` using JDK 1.7?
