Probably you were not aware of hidden TIFF challenges. :-) For a more "pure" format as pertains to alpha and gamma with ICC profile support, you should look at PNG. TIFF is still the workhorse for many industries since it is fast and flexible. > I am a newbie in color management with 3-4 days of reseach work in color > management.

We need support for alpha > channels, 16 bit per channel support (64 bits for RGBA) Yes, it support a vast collection of file formats at 8, 16, or 32 bits per channel (set at compile time). CMYK(A) is supported. There is an interface to invoke lcms, but it is not as fast as I would prefer (considerable optimization is possible). Maybe it was fast enough when it was first implemented but lcms is much faster now than it was then.
