Gary Lucas updated IMAGING-182:
-------------------------------
    Attachment: Imaging_182_Patch_2016_04_20.patch

Here is a patch that addresses the item #182, providing an enhancement to the 
Apache Commons Imaging library to write grayscale-formatted TIFF files. Among 
their other uses, grayscale images are useful in applications that process 
satellite images and related data products. 

The patch contains code changes for the main API, a small amount of additional 
javadoc, and a modification to the round-trip test for TIFF images.

As soon as this patch gets accepted (if it gets accepted), I will move forward 
on submitting a patch for Item 170, which involves overlapping code.

 I hereby release the patch that I contributed, 
Imaging_182_Patch_2016_04_20.patch, for use by the Apache Software Foundation 
and all interested parties according to the conditions specified in the Apache 
License, Version 2.0 described at http://www.apache.org/licenses/

> The current implementation does not permit to storage of grayscale images 
> when writing a TIFF output.  Grayscales come in handy for converting 
> satellite image products to GeoTIFFs for display in GIS applications.  The 
> current implementation can read grayscale formats but cannot writing them.
