The latest I read was that it was due to a libtiff limitation. However, there are other programs such as...

Thanks, that makes sense

I have an uncompressed TIFF source image that I'm converting to pyramidal tiff files with JPEG compression. I would like to take advantage of the significant space savings (3x) afforded by chrominance subsampling as as John Cupitt, the author of vips, points out here: https://github.com/jcupitt/libv...

the tile geometry in use can also be discovered using the tiffinfo command

I was able to verify using IIP Image server that the tile-geometry parameter is being honored. The fact that additional pages are being created is probably not a big deal since the resolution is so low. It would still be nice to know of a way to report on the tile geometry of a pyramidal tiff though...
