Please review at your convenience: Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8164750 Patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8164750/webrev.00/
Currently if ignoreMetadata == true and the set of allowed TIFFTagSets does not contain the BaselineTIFFTagSet instance then image reading will fail as fields essential to reading and interpreting the data will be ignored. Thanks, Brian
